Creamed Spinach with Taleggio<\/h3>\n
Makes 8 servings<\/p>\n
- \n
- 2 pounds mature, large-leaf spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped (3 or 4 bunches)<\/li>\n
- 2 tablespoons EVOO<\/li>\n
- 3 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n
- 3 shallots, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped<\/li>\n

LINE A VERY LARGE STRAINER or colander with a large, clean kitchen towel. Fill the colander with spinach leaves and pour boiling water from a kettle over the spinach to wilt the leaves. When cool enough to handle, wrap up and twist the towel to wring out all excess liquid. Finely chop the drained spinach. (If you don\u2019t have a very large colander, you can do this in batches.)\nHEAT A LARGE SKILLET over medium heat. Add the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Then add the butter. When the butter foams, add the shallots and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until the shallots soften. Add the cream and season with the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Melt in the Taleggio. Add the lemon juice and finish with the Parmigiano-Reggiano.\n<\/div>\n
