Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, or as a delightful dip. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
For an even smoother sauce, use a whisk throughout the cooking process.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your preference. Freshly minced garlic can also be used; sauté it in the butter before adding the spinach.
To make it a complete meal, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the pasta.
