Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and chop coarsely.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Then, mix in the chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
