2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
09 -
1/4 cup diced shallots.
10 -
1/2 teaspoon salt.
# Instructions:
01 -
Squeeze the defrosted spinach over a bowl in a strainer. Push with a spoon until no more water drips.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the shallots and garlic. Stir them around till they soften and smell great.
03 -
Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about half a minute until it gets a light golden hue.

Slowly pour in the cream and keep stirring while you do it. Add in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let it simmer until thickened and bubbling.

Stir in the spinach and parmesan until it’s all mixed together. Take the skillet off the stove and plate up.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap frozen spinach with 1.5 pounds of fresh spinach for the same amount.
02 -
Don’t have shallots? Use a sweet onion instead.
03 -
Pecorino-Romano works just fine if you’re out of parmesan.
