1
Prepare the spinach

Rinse the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Roughly chop the leaves and set aside.

2
Mince the garlic

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Melt the butter

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

4
Sauté the garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5
Add the spinach

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it wilts and reduces in volume, about 3-4 minutes.

6
Add cream and seasonings

Pour in the heavy cream, grate in the Parmesan cheese, and add the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
