Creamed Spinach Recipe

Prepare the Spinach

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Cook the Spinach

In a large pot, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for about 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain the spinach in a colander and let it cool. Once cool, squeeze out excess moisture and chop coarsely.

Sauté Garlic

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

Add Cream and Cheese

Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

Combine with Spinach

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir well to coat the spinach with the creamy mixture.

Season the Mixture

Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined and heated through.

Serve

Transfer the creamed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
