- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh spinach and removing any tough stems.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

In the same skillet, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the cream cheese until completely melted and smooth.
Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Season the cream sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and mix well.
Return the drained spinach to the skillet, combining it with the cream sauce. Stir until evenly distributed.
