Creamed Spinach Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the spinach

    Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and remove any tough stems. In a large pot, bring 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, drain again and chop coarsely.

  2. 2

    Sauté the garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Make the cream sauce

    Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine and season

    Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce. Stir well to combine. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until the spinach is well coated in the creamy sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm as a side dish.
