I've made this twice now and we love it. I have used both the whole garlic clove and minced garlic and like both ways. I love this recipe for using up the spinach we always have after making a spinach salad. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe with us.

This is amazing, I have craved it nearly every night since making it for the first time. In a pinch I have even used well drained canned spinach! I think this no-fail method would be well suited for cabbage and green beans too - Thank you so much for posting!

Lovely simple recipe! We love sauteed spinach and usually saute it in a little butter. However, the browned butter and garlic add another dimension of flavors. DH and I loved the "nuttiness" of the brown butter and of course garlic is always great! This will be a favorite in our house! Thanks Mean Chef!
