Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Add in nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, but not a boil. Once cream is warmed and steaming add in the Parmesan one handful at a time whisking continously until smooth.
Add spinach to cream sauce and mix well so that the spinach is completely coated in the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
