Make-Ahead:
The spinach can be sautéed and strained up to 4 hours ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerate.
1
Heat a large heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach, 1 handful at a time, and sauté just until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a sieve and press to exude the excess liquid.
2
Bring the cream to a boil in the same sauté pan over high heat. Add the spinach and toss to coat, cooking until the spinach is heated through. Remove the pan from the heat.
3
Coarsely crumble the blue cheese over the spinach and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
