Tag: Creamed Spinach

  • Spinach with Cream Sauce

    Tastes so rich.

    Servings: 2-4 people

    Ingredients

    6-8 cups fresh washed spinach
    1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
    1/4 – 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
    Salt & Pepper to taste

    Preparation

    Fry spinach in olive oil.
    When it has reduced in size by 1/2, add salt and pepper. I prefer to go heavy on the pepper as it balances the cream.

    Add cream and stir as spinach continues to cook.

    You don’t have to cook the spinach to death. I prefer it perky!

    Serve with a Roasted Chicken Breast.

    Optional: Add a little parmesan cheese to kick it up.

    Hubby Dennis loves spinach.  The man is not a vegetable lover.  It was less than a month or so ago, I actually caught him hiding green peas under his mashed potatoes on his plate.  He was swirling his potatoes and I asked him, “What are you doing?”  I took my fork and lifted and there they were. His peas, hidden under the potatoes.  I chuckled and whispered in his ear, “You’re over 40, you don’t have to eat peas if you don’t like them.”  He said he didn’t want to hurt my feelings by not eating them.

    My feelings are not hurt.  For goodness sake, do not eat what you do not like! 

    I happen to love both peas and spinach, but Dennis loves creamed spinach.

    If you have ever made spinach, you know that the big bunch of spinach will reduce down to a small amount, so use the whole bag of spinach.  Saute in olive oil for 3-5 minutes, add 1/4 cup cream, salt and pepper and serve immediately.
