1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12 cm x 22 cm oven dish with baking paper.
2. Heat a splash of oil on medium high and sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes or until starting to brown. Stir in half the spinach for about 1 minute or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.
