creamed spinach

1 pkg frozen chopped spinach, nuked and drained
4 tbs butter
1 good sized shallot chopped
3-4 oz heavy or light cream, doesn't really matter
about 2 oz of crumbled goat cheese
fresh nutmeg, ground to taste

in a 9 inch saute pan, melt the butter, add the shallots and sweat, don't brown them.
when they are soft, add the cream and raise heat a little to reduce the cream a bit, a couple of minutes. while it's reducing, add the nutmeg.
after a few minutes of reducing, add the goat cheese, and stir to mix well. immediately add the chopped spinach and continue to mix, off the heat now.
when all mixed together well, salt and pepper to taste.
 so good, and very easy.

served with a simple oven roasted cod fillet. vinho verde. nice supper.

actually, you may want to double the recipe, because once you taste it, you will probably eat all of it before dinner is served. so if you double it, you may have enough left to serve 2 or 3 people.
