Ingredients

• 16 ounces Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt down slightly before adding more.

Step 5

Once all the spinach is wilted, add the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked spinach mixture to a cutting board and finely chop it. Alternatively, use kitchen scissors to roughly chop it directly in the skillet.

Step 8

Return the chopped spinach to the skillet (off heat) and stir in the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg until well combined and creamy.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Reheat gently over low heat if needed, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
