6 cups fresh baby spinach (about 6 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until tender, 30-45 seconds. Add tomatoes, beans, spinach, Italian seasoning and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally. If desired, serve with pasta and cheese.
