Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions

Notes
For a lighter option, consider substituting the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Herbs or a pinch of red pepper flakes can also enhance the flavor!
