Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the washed spinach to the skillet with onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted down, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and combined. Then pour in the heavy cream and mix well. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth.

  4. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the creamed spinach mixture. Stir well to combine the flavors and adjust seasoning to taste.
