Ingredients

16 ounces baby spinach about 12 cups, uncooked
⅓ cup butter
½ white onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons flour
½ cup milk
½ cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese shredded
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, add spinach, cooking for about 5 minutes or until cooked down. Set aside.
Add butter to pan. Add onion, cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add flour, whisking for 2 minutes or until slightly browned (adds a nutty flavor).
Whisk in heavy cream and milk. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parmesan cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Add spinach to cream sauce to heat. Serve hot.

Notes

If using frozen spinach, defrost in a colander under warm water. Squeeze out excess moisture, then wrap in paper towel or cheese cloth to absorb any remaining moisture.
