4. Add chopped garlic saute until fragrant.
5. Lower heat to med low.

6. Sprinkle flour,  seasonings, salt and pepper on top and stir in.
7. Add wine to deglaze the pan.

8. Add thawed spinach. (You can also use fresh spinach if preferred)
9. Turn off heat and add sour cream and heavy cream and stir.
10. Stir in additional seasonings and salt and pepper to taste.

*Tips
If, like me, you forget to thaw the spinach, simply cook it in a steamer. 
One of our mixed bowls can also be a great option! Add 1# for a more mushroomy version.
Chestnuts and pioppino add a nice nutty flavor and crunch. Oysters and others will add more of an umami meatiness.
You can also use shallot and or onion in place of or in addition to garlic
