For 4 servings
In a large pot or Dutch oven, wilt the spinach in batches over medium heat. You can add a tablespoon of water to help it steam. Once wilted, transfer the spinach to a colander to cool slightly. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the spinach using your hands or a potato ricer. This step is crucial to avoid a watery dish. Roughly chop the drained spinach and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce and stir until everything is well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately while hot.
