ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb fresh spinach leaves
- 1⁄4 cup reduced-fat milk
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1 shallot
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash pepper
directions
- Boil a big pot of water - probably about 4 cups - to boil your spinach until wilted and tender.
- Drain spinach and roll in towel and squeeze excess water. Set aside.
- In non-stick pan, add olive oil and heat at medium heat.
- Add chopped shallot and garlic to oil and saute until shallots appear slightly clear in color.
- Add milk and half-and-half to pan and simmer for a few minutes until it gets a little thicker.
- Add Spinach to pan and stir, making sure spinach is covered in cream.
- Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Add ricotta and stir around until it is incoporated to the spinach mixture thoroughly.
- I add the spinach to a small casserole dish, and sprinkle parmesean on top and pop in the oven at a high temp for a few minutes to melt the cheese on top. You can use asiago, romano, and/or parmesean on top!
- Enjoy!
