2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Tips:

- Make sure to finely mince the garlic to ensure it evenly disperses its flavor throughout the spinach.

- Use fresh spinach for the best taste and texture. If using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it properly.

- 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.
