These days everyone incorporates fresh baby spinach into smoothiescold spinach dips, and salads, and rarely makes it into a side dish anymore; at least I think so.

We love sauteing fresh spinach and we make it often.  Even our spinach with garlic and olive oil is still one of our favorites!

Sauteed spinach with tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil is my husband’s recipe.  It’s quick and easy to make, and his spinach dish always turns out sensational!

No need to embellish with extra ingredients or weigh it down with creams or cheese.

Keep in mind, that spinach wilts when cooked and will practically shrink to nothing when it’s sauteed.  So you may need to buy a bunch of spinach depending on how many servings you will need.

How to Make Sauteed Spinach with Tomatoes?

1.  In a medium-size skillet, heat olive oil and add garlic.  Simmer on low heat for a few minutes, stirring until the garlic is translucent, about 2 minutes.

2.  Toss in the diced tomato and saute for a few minutes, until tomatoes soften.  Season with a little salt and pepper, to taste.

3.   Toss in the baby spinach, and cover with a lid.  Simmer on low flame for about 2 to 4 minutes.  Stirring occasionally the spinach to infuse all the flavors together.  Spinach will be done as soon as it wilts.

4.   Taste, and season with salt and pepper, if desired.  Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Sauteed Spinach with Tomatoes is a beautiful recipe and will become a favorite side dish!  It is simple and positively delicious!
