About

This is so simple we almost didn’t include it, but our daughter Amanda brought us to our senses. Go a little easy on the salt because cream intensifies its flavor.

Method

In a large skillet melt the butter over moderate heat, then add the spinach. Toss until all the spinach is coated and no liquid remains.
Add 1⅓ cups of the cream. Stir and allow the spinach to absorb the cream before adding more. Repeat until all cream is used. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Just prior to serving, sprinkle with nutmeg.
