Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 200 grams button mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 60 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water. Drain and set aside.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté until softened and golden, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and any released moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, then incorporate the spinach in batches. Cook each batch until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, and ground nutmeg. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.
