Meanwhile, preheat an oven to 350F. Spread the pine nuts in a small pan and place in the oven until toasted and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
In a wide saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the spinach to the pan and stir constantly until it is wilted, about 4 minutes.
