Ingredients

• 16 oz fresh spinach
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp Lawry's seasoned salt
• 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Bring a pot of water to boil, blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes, and immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool. Squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream to the roux, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the Lawry's seasoned salt, ground nutmeg, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce, stirring to coat completely. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is heated through and the flavors combine.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for 1 more minute until the cheese is melted and integrated into the sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a warm, creamy side dish. Enjoy!
