Serves 4
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot or 1/2 small onion, finely sliced
1lb baby spinach
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until softened and translucent.
Add the spinach and cook down until reduced in size and wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and add the cream cheese. Cook, stirring often, until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
