Creamed Spinach Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Spinach

   Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes, then drain and immediately plunge it into ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain again and chop roughly.

2. 2

   Cook the Garlic

   In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Create the Cream Sauce

   Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cream to thicken slightly.

4. 4

   Season the Spinach

   Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
