Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until softened and lightly deepening in color, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
  2. Add spinach in four batches, tossing between each until spinach is nearly wilted each time.
  3. Sprinkle in flour and cook and toss for 1 minute.
  4. While stirring pour in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and nutmeg. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute.
  5. Reduce heat to low then add cream cheese and parmesan cheese and stir until cheeses are melted. Transfer to a serving dish so spinach doesn't continue to cook and serve warm.
