1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Cook the Spinach
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain the spinach and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely.

3
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the garlic. Stir well to combine. Then pour in the heavy cream and add the cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and well incorporated.
5
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is heated through and creamy.
