Preparation:
Place the spinach in a colander. Rinse, but do not dry.
Warm the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the spinach to a serving dish. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
