Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Make a Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. The mixture should look golden and slightly thick.
Add Milk and Cream: Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in Cheeses: Reduce the heat to low. Add the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and cream cheese. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Cook the Spinach: Add the roughly chopped spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, allowing each batch to wilt before adding more. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Stir well to coat the spinach in the creamy sauce.
Serve: Once the spinach is tender and well mixed with the sauce, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or topping for your favorite protein.
