Sauteed Spinach with Basil

There really isn't a wrong way to eat spinach - it's the best veg out there - but this is especially tasty!

2 tsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup (2 oz) pine nuts
10 oz fresh spinach leaves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups fresh basil leaves

Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add nuts and cook until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add the spinach, salt, pepper, and 2 Tbls water. Cover and cook, tossing occasionally with tongs, until spiinach wilts, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add basil and toss until it wilts. Serve immediately.
