1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Blanch the spinach in boiling water for about 2 minutes until wilted, then drain and cool in ice water. Squeeze out excess water and chop finely.
2
Make the Béchamel Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and is smooth, about 5 minutes.
3
Combine Spinach and Cheese
Remove the béchamel sauce from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Add the chopped spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until the spinach is evenly coated with the sauce.
4
Serve
Transfer the creamed spinach to a serving dish and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
