Spinach For Spinach-Haters

Cook spinach as directed and drain for as long as your patience permits (squeezing it with towels to speed drying up) and set aside.

Melt butter over moderate heat. Brown garlic in butter, throwing in thyme and pepper (to taste) just before garlic is lightly browned. Immediately throw in spinach and warm it up before adding cream and vinegar. Stir.

When mixture starts to thicken up, add cheese and take off burner. The cheese will continue melting. Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg and give it a final stir or two.
