- In large skillet warm olive oil then add garlic. Cook garlic just until it starts to pop then add spinach and lemon juice.
- Keep tossing spinach and as it starts to wilt and add in pine nuts; add light sea salt and cracked pepper to taste.
- You want to cook spinach until it's just completely wilted, but not until it's mush. Turn off heat, add grated cheese and toss lightly as it melts. Remove from pan to serving dish and top with a little more grated cheese and you're ready to go.

Steps:
- In a large skillet cook the pine nuts in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until they are golden, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to a small dish. In the skillet cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, add the spinach, and cook the mixture, covered, stirring once every minute, for 3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender. Stir in the sour cream, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the mixture with pine nuts.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than wilted or frozen spinach.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can harbor grit and dirt, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before cooking.
- Cook the spinach quickly: Spinach cooks very quickly, so don't overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become limp and mushy.
- Season the spinach to taste: Spinach has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice are all good options.
- Add other ingredients to taste: Spinach is a versatile vegetable that can be paired with a variety of other ingredients. Try adding toasted pine nuts, crumbled bacon, or chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Conclusion:
Sautéed spinach is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a variety of meals. With its vibrant green color and mild flavor, spinach is a great way to add a pop of color and nutrition to your plate.
