Creamed Spinach


Creamed Spinach

  • 10 ounces spinach — frozen, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • dash nutmeg
  • salt and pepper — to taste

Put spinach in about 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 2 minutes, then drain well.
Melt butter in skillet and add cream and seasonings. Bring to a simmer, then add drained spinach.
Cook until thickened about 1 minute. Makes 3-4 servings.

Boston Market Variation:

I really enjoy the Boston Market Creamed Spinach.  Here is the information from their Web Site.

Boston Market Creamed Spinach – Contents:

Spinach, Cream Cheese, Onions, Water, Salted Butter, Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Corn Starch, Sea Salt, Garlic, Spice.

The only thing in their Creamed Spinach that is not Plan A OK, is the Corn Starch, which is one of the last ingredients.  Leaving that out will merely make the dish a little thinner and as my wife says, it will not have the same “mouth feel.”  Who cares!
