Heat olive oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic and onion and sauté till the onions are soft and pink. Cook over low heat to avoid garlic to burn. 
Once done; mix spinach puree. Season the puree with salt, pepper, nutmeg powder and Italian seasoning. 
add in chopped basil leaves and parsley to it. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or till the puree starts to bubble up, add  cream and milk.
Mix well & bring the sauce to a boil. then lower the heat again, add  both cheeses and mix well. 
Cover and let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese melts.
To serve the spaghetti ; take hold enough spaghetti with tongs.  Now slowly spin the plate and lower the pasta in center as you do it. 
This is how you’ll be able to create a beautiful swirl with your spaghetti. Carefully pour sauce over it.
Top it off with some cheddar cheese and some parsley. 
Season with extra pepper and salt if desired and serve hot.
