In a pan place olive oil, water and 1 clove of chopped garlic in
pan.  Cook at low-medium heat.  Add diced tomatoes and more basil
and Italian seasoning.

Cook for 3 minutes.

Add the plum tomato sauce and stir to even out the mixture.  Let
simmer & then add the chopped spinach, stirred moderately to blend
