Ingredients

3 pounds spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit. Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from the leaves and chop them coarsely.

Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

Good stuff!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Like others, it wasn't as creamed as I expected but still good along side a T bone steak! I probably should have minced the... garlic and just kept it in...oh well!Read more

I didn't have heavy cream and so I used whole milk. It was great. I only used a frozen bag of spinach.

WOW
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Even though the recipe wasn't as "creamed" as I expected it is a great dish. I served it to friends and they loved it - even... the ones who said they didn't like spinach! Great recipe.Read more

good and easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night, along with chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits.....worked as well as any other side dish, so... don't limit yourself to serving it with steak or Italian foods. I also used frozen spinach. I added dried minced onion and the refrigerated type of minced garlic to the butter and oil. Then added the almost defosted spinach, along with cream , nutmeg and Parm cheese. Put it in a casserole dish, topped with extra Parm and baked for 20 min. @ 350 deg. Good, good, good!!!!!!!Read more

Great dish, expensive to make
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved this dish, and used the tasty leftovers to make a wonderful quiche the next day. Yumm. The problem is that 3 lbs... of spinach was really expensive. In the north in the winter, the only spinach available was bagged baby spinach, which runs about $3/ 9 oz bag. So I resolved to make 1/2 the recipe.Read more
