Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the baby spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
