Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Carefully place the spinach into the skillet, with just the rinsing water clinging to the leaves. Sprinkle with salt. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until spinach wilts but is still bright green. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.
