Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any grit. Remove tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.

    Sprinkle the flour over the garlic in the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Add Milk and Cream

    Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

  8. 8
