Creamed Spinach Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, drain again and squeeze out excess water. Chop the spinach coarsely.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth. Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully incorporated. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to heat through and flavors to meld. Serve warm.
