Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Spinach

    Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water and roughly chop the spinach.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Spinach

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until wilted, about 4-5 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Dairy

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated.

  4. 6

    Add Cheese and Season

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.
