Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add the spinach, and blanch for about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water and chop the spinach.

  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, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and combines well with the cream. Add the chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once heated, remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious creamed spinach as a side dish!
