Ingredients
- 20 oz frozen spinach (steam-in-bag)
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ cup 2% milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Steam the spinach in the microwave according to the package instructions, wait for it to cool down, and squeeze as much water out of it as possible. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Saute the onions and garlic until fragrant, about 2. Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by half.
- Mix in the milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and cooked spinach until well combined. Serve hot.
Notes
- For easier mixing, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature.
- If your cream cheese is not at room temperature, microwave it for 20 seconds or until softened. Remember to remove the foil before placing it in the microwave.
- After mixing all the ingredients, check the seasoning and add more salt if needed.
