My Florentine meatballs are made with Italian-style meatballs, spinach, and cheese. I picked up all of the main ingredients from Albertsons®!

- 1 lb Italian meatballs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced

- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Lucerne® Half and Half
- 8 oz Lucerne Cream Cheese cut into 8 chunks, room temp
- 10 ounce Signature SELECT® frozen spinach thawed

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat add the oil and brown the meatballs on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and saute the onions for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and season with salt, pepper and berbere. Cook for another 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over top of onions and stir. Continue cooking over low heat for 2 minutes.
