Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove any tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Spinach and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream and cream cheese. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the cream.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sautéed spinach and garlic to the cream mixture. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and heated through.

Serving

  1. 6
