To be honest, I was quite surprised how delicious this simple dish was.

When just wilted remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until seared and beginning to sweat, about five minutes. The key to delicious, flavorful sautéed spinach is to sauté it, not stew it, which is what I've seen too many people do when they think they're sautéing it. Add the spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted.
