Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, Parmesan, and flour until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir in the broth, lemon zest, seasoning blend, and cayenne. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is heated through, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the spinach, tossing with two spoons to lightly coat with the broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, covered, over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach is slightly wilted, stirring occasionally. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spinach is completely wilted and tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Stir the reserved half-and-half mixture into the spinach mixture. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
