Warm the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan and add the mushrooms, letting them color nicely here and there (expect to add more oil if they drink it all). Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for a couple of minutes.
• Pour the cream into the pan and let it come back to a boil, then simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat. Wash the spinach and put it, still wet from rinsing, into a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Let the spinach cook for a minute or two in its own steam, then drain it and squeeze to remove excess water.
