Quick and flavorful spinach snack, perfect for a healthy and satisfying bite.
Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. Remove any tough stems.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the spinach to the pan. It will seem like a lot, but it will wilt down quickly.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
Serve immediately as a warm and flavorful snack.

Don't overcrowd the pan with spinach, or it will steam instead of pan-fry. Cook in batches if necessary.
Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will become bitter.
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice at the end.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
