2. Cooking Directions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallot (or onion); cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbling, about 30 seconds. Add milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir the spinach into the sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.

Notes:
Ingredient Tip
The sturdier texture of mature spinach stands up better to sauteing than baby spinach and it's a more economical choice. We prefer to serve baby spinach raw.

High quality
failurekiwi - December 15, 2007 06:02:34 AM PSTThis is a very good recipe. It has all the ingredients a good creamed vegetable should have. Any one who knows sauces knows a white sauce should have a touch of nutmeg. And instead of the dreaded frozen, squeezed out spinich, it used fresh. On top of it the pecorino cheese adds the what one craves in a cream sauce and makes this a top notch recipe. The other juvenile comments made earlier are just plain pathetic, people with nothing better to do.
