Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, salt, and several grinds of pepper and cook for 4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic, followed by the flour.
- Add the cream and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cream is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
- Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until just wilted. The sauce will thin out slightly from the water released by the spinach. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to thicken the sauce, then stir in the lemon juice.
- Season to taste and serve.
