Steps:
- Pour olive oil into a large soup pot, place over high heat, add spinach, and cover. Cook for 1 minute, uncover, and lightly stir until most of the leaves are bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes. Quickly drain spinach in a strainer and transfer to a plate lined with 4 or 5 paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Transfer spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
- Mix salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter in skillet, and stir shallot in the hot butter until just barely golden and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir seasoning mixture into shallot mixture and pour in cream. Raise heat to medium-high and reduce cream sauce to about half, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon zest.
- Reduce heat to low and toss spinach with cream sauce in skillet. Cook and stir until spinach is heated through and coated, about 2 minutes. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into spinach until thoroughly combined; serve immediately.

LIGHT CREAMED SPINACH
Ok, so I was craving for the Spinach with Lemon Stir Fry in a restaurant one day and despite my friend's attempt at explaining what I wanted. The chef came back with his version of how spinanch should be done. Not too bad so here's the copycat. I was thinking of substituting cream with milk and flour. Wonder if it works as well...

QUICK CREAMED SPINACH
The inspiration for this creamy side dish came from a local restaurant. I lightened up the original recipe by using fat-free half-and-half and fat-free cream cheese. I goes great with most any entree. -Susan Geddie of Harker Heights, Texas

- COOK SPINACH: Cook frozen spinach in microwave as per package instructions. I add a teaspoon of water and microwave covered 3.5 minutes on High. Drain in strainer, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. It's ok if a little bit remains. Note 1 for using fresh spinach.
- MAKE CREAM SAUCE: Heat butter and/or oil on medium in a medium saucepan. Add onions and saute gently for a few minutes. Add garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Mix in flour to make a roux. Stir for a couple of minutes until it turns pale brown. Add any combination of milk and cream that you like to equal 1.5 cups. I use mostly skim milk and about 1/4 cup cream. Stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using) to your taste.
- COMBINE: Stir in cooked well-squeezed spinach. Add Parmesan cheese if using. If mixture is too thick, add more milk until desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. Note 2 to make ahead.
