Steps:
- Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
- In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

SESAME-GARLIC SPINACH SALAD
The magic of this easy spinach salad is the warm, garlic-infused dressing, which makes the spinach, carrots, radishes and scallions slightly tender and helps them absorb a bit of the dressing.

SAUTE SPINACH WITH GARLIC
Recipe from Martha Stewart. I am not an avid Martha fan, but this spinach dish is fragrant with garlic, but without the fat, and easy. I think it's better than spinach salad because you don't even have to dry them and comparing with with the calories you get with salad dressing, this "sauted" spinach is practically calorie-free!

Steps:
- In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add garlic, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to paper towels; reserve.
- Discard oil.
- Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
- Coarsely chop spinach and stalks.
- Working in batches, add damp spinach to the pan.
- Cover, and cook until spinach just begins to wilt, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked spinach to a metal bowl, and cook remaining spinach.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle reserved garlic over spinach, and serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash spinach thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a variety of textures: For a more interesting dish, use a combination of baby spinach, mature spinach, and spinach leaves.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become limp and lose its nutrients.
- Add sesame seeds at the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning.
- Serve immediately: Spinach is best served immediately after cooking.
