Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes, then drain and immediately plunge it into ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain again and chop roughly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Garlic

    In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Create the Cream Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cream to thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Season the Spinach

    Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
