A quick and healthy take on the steakhouse favorite.

Ingredients

Serves:

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup minced shallot or red onion

1 10-ounce bag fresh spinach (see Ingredient note), tough stems removed

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon flour

1/2 cup 1% milk

1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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.

Ingredient Note: 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.
