How to Make Wonderful Baked Spinach

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, for 6-7 minutes, until softened. Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and cook for another minute.
  3. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine (unoaked Chardonnay recommended) to the skillet and let it reduce for about 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic mixture with 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
