Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Wash and drain the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and combined.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, in batches if necessary, and sauté until wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
Season the spinach with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow the cream to warm up for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
