Garlic Parmesan Spinach
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 (10 ounce) boxes boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; reserve 1/2 cup liquid
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine milk, spinach liquid extracted from 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, and minced garlic in a 1-quart microwave-safe container or small bowl covered with a heat-resistant plate; heat until extremely hot and steamy, taking care not to boil. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the garlic has become soft and mellow.

Next, melt butter in a large cooking vessel over medium-high heat. Whisk the flour into the melted butter to create a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the hot milk mixture, whisking continuously until well combined. Introduce the spinach into the sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the spinach is tender but still retains its vibrant green color. Finally, stir in Parmesan cheese, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve the dish hot and enjoy.
