Healthy Creamed Spinach

Print Recipe

A delightful blend of creamy goodness and vibrant greens, this healthy creamed spinach is both indulgent and guilt-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Fresh Spinach
  • 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (or milk)
  • 1 tablespoon Butter (or Olive Oil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of Nutmeg (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse your fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or spin it in a salad spinner.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter or heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add half of a finely chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Toss in 2-3 minced garlic cloves and continue cooking for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the fresh spinach in batches, allowing it to wilt down before adding more.
  5. Pour in about ½ cup of heavy cream (or your choice of milk), stir well to combine and let it bubble gently for a couple of minutes.
  6. Season your creamed spinach with salt and pepper and sprinkle in a touch of nutmeg if desired.
  7. Remove it from the heat. Stir in a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Transfer it to a serving dish.

Notes

Serve in a beautiful dish with a sprig of parsley for garnish. Try adding nuts or cheese for variations.
