Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and leaves damp
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive-oil cooking spray
Method
In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to paper towels; reserve. Discard oil.
Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Coarsely chop spinach and stalks. Working in batches, add damp spinach to the pan. Cover, and cook until spinach just begins to wilt, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked spinach to a metal bowl, and cook remaining spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle reserved garlic over spinach, and serve warm.
