Ingredients

2 tbsp Butter
1 small Onion finely chopped
2 cloves Garlic minced
¾ cup Heavy Cream
⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
⅓ cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 (300g) package Chopped Frozen Spinach thawed and drained

Instructions

Thaw the frozen spinach completely. Squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel, paper towels, or the back of a spoon and a fine mesh strainer. Really make sure to get out as much water as you can.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until they melt and the sauce becomes smooth.
Season the sauce with ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
Add the drained spinach to the skillet and stir well to combine it with the cream sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
