Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Wash fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove grit. Dry gently.
In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.

Add prepared spinach to creamy sauce and stir gently. Cook for 3–5 minutes.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, mixing until cheese melts.
Adjust sauce thickness by adding more milk if needed, simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Serve hot in a bowl, garnished with additional Parmesan.
