Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and chop the spinach, mince the garlic, and grate the Parmesan cheese. This will help speed up the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, as it has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
  • Cook the Spinach Properly: Don't overcook the spinach, as it will become wilted and lose its nutrients. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use Good Quality Cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality cream that is at least 35% fat. This will give the sauce a rich and creamy texture.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and add more salt, pepper, or nutmeg to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
