- Pour in the heavy cream and add the fresh parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Cook for 6-7 minutes or until it thickens nicely.

Notes
Use fresh spinach and cook it before adding it to the cream sauce. If you would like to add wine, make sure you add it after you add the garlic and red crushed pepper and let it reduce by half before adding the heavy cream. I would recommend chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Avoid fruity wines. If you want to serve this with pasta, I highly recommend doubling the sauce amount so you have enough to coat the pasta.
