Ingredients
- 16 ounces baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 onion finely chopped, small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add spinach in batches, wilting each batch before adding the next. Once wilted, transfer spinach to a colander to drain excess liquid and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, chopped onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Add the wilted spinach back into the skillet with the sauce. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and cheese is melted. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm.
