Equipment
- large pot
- colander
- Dutch oven (optional)
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 tsp nutmeg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit, then drain it well.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, wilt the spinach over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it has significantly reduced in volume.
- Drain the wilted spinach in a colander, pressing out as much excess liquid as possible to prevent a watery final dish.
Cream Sauce
- In the same pot (or a clean one), combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and nutmeg.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and incorporated.
Combine and Serve
- Add the well-drained wilted spinach to the cream sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
- Serve the creamed spinach hot as a delicious side dish.
Notes
For an extra touch of flavor, a pinch of cayenne pepper can be added to the cream sauce. You can also prepare the cream sauce ahead of time and add the spinach just before serving to ensure freshness.
