Ingredients:
-
3 tbsp Unsalted butter
-
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
-
10 oz Baby spinach (chopped; about 16 cups)
-
1/2 cup Heavy cream
-
3 oz Cream cheese (cut into small pieces)
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
1/4 tsp Sea salt
-
1/4 tsp Black pepper
-
Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Directions:
-
Heat butter in a large saute pan or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and saute until fragrant.
-
Add spinach. Saute for 2 to 4 minutes, until wilted. If the pan is too full to stir at first, cover it for a minute or two, which will let the spinach at the bottom wilt. Then you can start to stir in a folding motion.
-
Add heavy cream, cream cheese, sea salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts, then cook a few minutes until thickened.
-
If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for serving.
