1

Start by rinsing the spinach under cold water, then place it in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the spinach for about 5 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.

2

Once wilted, drain the spinach in a colander and use a spoon to press out any excess water. Chop the spinach coarsely and set aside.

3

In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

4

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

5

Add 1/2 cup of cream to the thickened sauce, stirring well. Then, add in the prepared spinach.

6

Season with 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7

Finally, stir in 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated.

• Add crispy bacon bits for a smoky flavor.
• Incorporate different cheeses like Gruyère or feta for variety.
• Top with toasted breadcrumbs for added texture.

• Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the spinach as possible to avoid a watery dish.
• For an even richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of cream.
• Don't skip the nutmeg; it enhances the overall taste beautifully.
