Introduction
Since I love spinach and I love alfredo, I decided to see if I could create a "company worthy" dish. Let's put it this way, Mom, who's usually kind of picky, scraped her plate until she had every bit of it!

Ingredients
-
1 tbsp extra light olive oil
2 tsp chopped or minced garlic
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated non-fat milk
1 tsp white or black pepper
1/2 - 1 tsp nutmeg
1 package fresh spinach
1 tsp corn starch (optional)
2 oz shredded romano cheese
Directions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute` about 1 minute.
Add evaporated milk, pepper and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook until reduced so that the milk coats the back of a spoon.
Add the cleaned, washed and dried spinach to the pan and cover.
Cook for about a minute with the cover on, then uncover and stir.
If the sauce seems thin, add 1 tsp of corn starch that you have mixed with a little bit of water, stirring constantly. Cook for a minute more, add the cheese, stir, and pour over you favorite pasta.

WAY too much nutmeg and I only used a scant 1/2 tsp. I would reccommend only using a dash like in most alfredo recipes. Also, if you're using fresh ground pepper, use only half the pepper suggested as it is stronger. I will make this again with some adjustments. Really good basic recipe. Thanks!! - 3/22/09

I like the recipe as is.
For something different replace nutmeg with old bay spice.
Add a tablespoon of Pernot to oraginal recipe.I get my specialty liquor's from a local bar,I bring my own container and orer a shot or two for the recipe.
A sauted schallot would be good addition...Chef Jim - 11/16/08
