1 In a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, salt, pepper and optional cayenne. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
2 Add the spinach in big handfuls, stirring after each one. Cook until all of the spinach is wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
3 Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
4 Add the cream cheese to the pot. Continue cooking and stirring until the cream cheese has completely melted and the mixture is creamy. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
5 Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully taste, and season with additional salt and pepper, if you’d like. Serve warm.
