Creamed Spinach
Fresh spinach is sautéed down, coated in a creamy, cheesy, flavorsome sauce, and made in one pan in under 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 pound baby spinach (washed & dried)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Start by adding olive oil, garlic and onion to a pan over medium high heat, and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Next, add the spinach to the pan and stir continuously until the spinach shrinks down in size greatly. This may take 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the wilted spinach and continue to stir until combined.
- Add the heavy cream to the pan and let it come to a soft simmer. Stir gently, and allow the mixture to thicken up.
- Turn the heat off, add the parmesan cheese and the seasonings to the mixture, stir until combined, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage - You can store your leftover creamed spinach in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave, or back on the stove for a few minutes until warm. You can also freeze your leftovers for up to 3 months.
