Instructions:
- Start by finely mincing the garlic clove. Ensure your spinach is thoroughly washed and drained.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste preference. Adding more can give the dish a zestier flavor.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt and pepper for additional seasoning if desired.
- For extra richness, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
