Garlic Sauteed Spinach - Recipe by Laura Vitale - Laura in the Kitchen Episode 196

Wash and dry fresh baby spinach.

Slice lots of fresh garlic.

Trim the ends of the spinach if not using baby spinach.

Heat a large nonstick skillet with high sides over medium-high heat with 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Add sliced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant and lightly browned.

Add a pinch of hot pepper flakes to the garlic (optional).

Add the spinach to the skillet, covering it with a lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low for about 1 minute.

After 1 minute, remove the lid and stir the spinach, turning the heat back up to medium-high.

Season the spinach with salt and black pepper to taste and cook until fully wilted, being careful not to overcook it.

Remove from heat and drizzle with a tiny bit of lemon juice before serving.
