Ingredients:
- 2 10 oz bags of baby spinach
- 3-4 Tbs salted butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3-4 Tbs all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg
- salt to taste
Directions:
Cook the spinach in a pot of boiling water for just one minute, add to a cold water bath to stop the cooking, and then squeeze out the excess water from the leaves. Chop the spinach and set aside.
Now’s the important part - making the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and onion, and cook until just soft. Add in the flour, stirring it together to form a paste. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until slightly thickened. Stir in the parmesan, add in the spinach, white pepper and salt. Serve immediately.
