Ingredients

• 16 ounces fresh spinach
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 30 seconds. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water and chop the spinach finely.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and lump-free. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until it is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite steak or main course.
