Wilted Spinach and Sautéed Garlic

I like spinach many different ways and here's one that's just really quick and easy and super tasty. The key to this dish is to slowly sauté the garlic and olive oil until the garlic is translucent. Remove garlic from the pan before sautéing the spinach and toss on top of the finished spinach.
 
Ingredients:
Lots of fresh spinach
10 cloves sliced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
 
Preparation:
Peel and slice 10 cloves of garlic. I know this sound like a lot, but when you slowly sauté the garlic it is more like roasted garlic, no so strong. Sauté the garlic in the olive oil over low flame. If you burn the garlic, throw it out and start again. When the garlic is really translucent, remove from the pan and set a side while you finish the dish.
 
Heat a 12" sauté pan to medium and add just a touch olive oil. Add a handful of fresh spinach at a time and constantly turn while the spinach wilts. 3 or 4 handfuls is about righ for 2 people. When the spinach is wilted add a touch more olive oil to coat the spinach and remove to a serving plate. Add the sautéed garlic on top and a grind of salt and pepper and you're done.
