Creamed spinach

When I made this I used 2 - 10 oz bags of fresh spinach. I also cut the sauce in half. 

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion , minced
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 4 teaspoons Kosher salt , divided
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg , freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 1/4 pounds fresh leaf spinach , or one pound frozen
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese , grated


Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil with two teaspoons of salt.
  • Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Drain the spinach in a strainer or colander.
  • Rinse with cold water until cool and squeeze the water out of each fistful of spinach.
  • Chop the spinach bundles into a ¾ inch width.
  • In a large skillet melt the butter with the garlic and onions.
  • Cook on medium low for 8-10 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  • Add in the remaining kosher salt, black pepper and nutmeg.
  • Add in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon over low and cook for 2-3 minutes until the aroma is a bit nutty.
  • Add the half an half and cook until boiling.
  • Add in the mozarella cheese and cream cheese
  • Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
  • Add in the spinach and the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
