Preparation

Step 1

Cook spinach in a pot of boiling water for just one minute. Add to a cold water bath to stop the cooking, then squeeze out the excess water from the leaves. Chop spinach (or use food processor) and set aside.

Sauce: melt butter in saucepan. Add the garlic and onion and cook until just soft. Add in the flour, stirring together to form a paste. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until slightly thickened. Stir in the parmesan, add the spinach and prosciutto, and pepper (nutmeg) and salt.
