Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter together with the olive oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and sauté for 7 minutes, stirring often so as not to burn the garlic.

- Add in the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 additional minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, serve, and ENJOY!
