Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Blanch the spinach in boiling water for about 2 minutes until wilted, then drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, squeeze out excess water and chop the spinach roughly.

Make the Cream Sauce
