Creamed Spinach Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Spinach
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out any excess moisture and chop coarsely.
Make the Cream Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Combine Ingredients
Add cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth. Then, fold in the chopped spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
Season and Serve
Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
