Creamed Spinach Ingredients
Method
Creamed Spinach Directions
- 1
Prepare the Spinach
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the spinach for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, squeeze out excess water and chop the spinach finely.

Make the Cream Sauce
