Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it.

Step 6

Gradually add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently to allow it to wilt down. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Once the spinach has wilted, stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is fully melted and integrated with the cream.

Step 8

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 9

Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken and develop its rich flavor.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before removing the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a sauce over your favorite keto accompaniment, such as grilled chicken, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles. Enjoy!
