Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by washing and chopping the spinach. In a large skillet over medium heat, I pair the fresh spinach with minced garlic. You’ll want to sauté until the spinach wilts down, which only takes a few minutes and fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma. Once that’s done, I transfer the spinach and garlic to a mixing bowl. This step always makes me feel accomplished, as I can already envision the final dish!
