In a small frying pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar; saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until garlic is slightly softened. Add lemon juice, stirring to cominbe.

Pour warm vinaigrette over spinach and toss gentley to wilt (when properly wilted, the leaf edges soften slightly, but the spinach retains some crunch). Toss in pine nuts. Serve immediately on individual serving plates.
