Ingredients

• 16 ounces Fresh spinach, chopped
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 Small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. Chop it coarsely and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the spinach in batches, cooking until wilted. Transfer the cooked spinach to a colander and press out excess liquid. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Then pour in the heavy cream and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Add the cooked spinach back into the skillet. Stir until the spinach is evenly coated with the creamy sauce and heated through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, poultry, or seafood.
