1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
3
Cook the Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet with garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Combine with Cream Cheese
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated into the spinach mixture.
5
Add Parmesan Cheese
Once the cream cheese is well mixed, sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
6
Serve
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or as a filling for wraps or stuffed pastries.
