When the spinach achieves is wilted but still bright green, stir in cream cheese and ⅓ cup of pasta cooking water (don’t add all of the reserved water at once but save the rest in case you need to loosen the sauce when you add the pasta to the skillet). Add the grated cheese and nutmeg to the sauce and give a good stir. The sauce will be ready in a couple of minutes. Drain pasta, add to the skillet and toss to combine.
