Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the spinach.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring frequently until the spinach is wilted and bright green. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Continue stirring until the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle in the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Allow the creamed spinach to simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
