Servings: persons

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, finely minced (about 1/2 cup)
2 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated on a Microplane (about 2 teaspoons)
2 pounds curly spinach, trimmed, washed, and drained
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup store-bought or
creme fraiche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (about 1 cup; optional)

1
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach in four batches, turning each batch with tongs or a rubber spatula and allowing it to wilt before adding the next.
2
Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until no dry flour remains. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring, then reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is completely softened and the sauce has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours.
3
Stir in the nutmeg and creme fraiche and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
4
If desired, preheat the broiler to high. Transfer the creamed spinach to a 1-quart oval or round casserole dish and top it with the cheese. Broil until the spinach is bubbly and the cheese has formed a well-browned crust, about 2 minutes. Serve.
