Cream Spinach Ingredients
Method
Cream Spinach Directions
Prepare the Spinach
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out excess moisture and chop the spinach coarsely.
Make the Cream Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
Add Milk and Cream
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Combine and Season
Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce. Stir in the salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
