– 6 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter

4. Add the Spinach: Gradually add the chopped spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, stirring continuously until it wilts down. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Finish with Lemon: If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sautéed mixture for a refreshing finish. Taste and adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.
