3 to 4
cloves garlic, finely chopped

Heat olive oil in a 12-inch (30 cm) skillet
over medium heat. When oil shimmers
across the pan add the sausage. Break up
sausage into small pieces with a wooden
spoon while it is cooking. Once sausage
is completely cooked through, remove
from pan and reserve.
Pour off all but 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of fat
and add the chopped garlic to the pan
and place over medium low heat. Stir for
one minute, until garlic is fragrant, being
careful not to burn. Stir in spinach until
wilted and add the salt and crushed red
pepper. Stir in the white wine, scraping up
any browned bits that have been left
behind in the pan. Continue cooking over
medium heat until wine has been almost
completely reduced. Remove from heat
and reserve.
