Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 2 servings
Equipment: 1 (12-inch) sauté pan, chef’s knife, cutting board

Ingredients:
2 (5-ounce) packages of organic fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, optional
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper, freshly-ground

Instructions:
Start by slicing 3 garlic cloves. Next, add oil to a cold sauté pan. Add the sliced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the pan. On medium heat, bring the oil up to temperature and sauté the garlic for a minute until fragrant. Add the spinach leaves to the pan, in batches. As soon as all the leaves have wilted, season with the Kosher salt and fresh-ground black pepper. Toss through one more time until all the leaves are coated, then turn off the heat. Transfer to a large serving bowl. This dish is so flavorful that you may change your mind about spinach. Serve hot.
