2 pounds baby spinach
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

In a large pot, combine the spinach with the water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over moderately low heat until just wilted, about 10 minutes. Drain the spinach, pressing out as much water as possible; chop coarsely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately low heat until softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, crushed red pepper and a generous pinch of salt and cook, tossing until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and serve.
