Ingredients
- 454 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet a handful at a time, stirring constantly with tongs or a spatula to help it wilt evenly.
Step 6
Continue adding spinach until all of it is in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is fully wilted and tender.
Step 7
Season the spinach with salt and black pepper, stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving bowl or plate.
Step 9
Top the spinach with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately while warm.
