Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds baby spinach
  2. 1/2 cup water
  3. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 1 large garlic clove, minced
  5. Pinch of crushed red pepper
  6. Salt
  7. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Make Ahead
