Start with 10 cups of clean, washed, and dry baby spinach.

Heat a skillet over low to medium heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and melt it, ensuring it covers the pan.

Use tongs to help turn and wilt the spinach as it cooks.

If necessary, cook the spinach in batches, adding more as it wilts down.

Cook the spinach until it is beautifully wilted, which can take between 1 to 5 minutes depending on the heat and amount of spinach.

Once wilted, turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste, starting with a little and adding more if desired.

Transfer the wilted spinach to a plate, letting any excess water drip off.
