Creamed Spinach
Creamed Spinach Creamed spinach is a luxurious and creamy side dish that pairs perfectly with roasted meats, hearty stews, or even a casual weeknight dinner. Packed with vibrant spinach and a rich, velvety sauce, it’s a restaurant-quality dish that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Ingredients 2 lbs fresh spinach (or 1 lb frozen spinach, thawed and drained) 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tsp nutmeg (optional) Salt and black pepper to taste Instructions Wash and blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain, squeeze out excess moisture, and chop if needed. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add the spinach to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Serve warm. Cooking Tips Use fresh baby spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, ensure it's thoroughly drained to prevent a watery sauce.
