Directions
1. Prep the Spinach
If using fresh spinach, wash thoroughly and trim stems. Blanch in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop roughly.
If using frozen, ensure spinach is fully thawed and well-drained.
2. Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter (with olive oil, if using). Add minced garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add Spinach
Add spinach to the skillet and sauté 2–3 minutes until heated through and evenly coated in butter and garlic.
4. Make It Creamy
Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer gently 3–5 minutes until cream thickens slightly.
5. Finish with Parmesan & Seasoning
Stir in Parmesan cheese, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook another 1–2 minutes until cheese melts and spinach is creamy.
6. Serve
Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot alongside your favorite steak or protein.
