Add the large bunch of spinach (thick stems removed) to the pot. Season with ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spinach begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and continue to toss the spinach until all leaves are just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.
