I love real creamed spinach from a steakhouse, but it's not exactly a health food. This recipe is a little better, because I make a roux with fat free milk and use a tiny bit of heavy cream....hope you like it!
Creamed Spinach
10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and all moisture squeezed out
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 and 1/2 Tbsp of flour
3/4 C fat free milk
1 oz (2 Tbsp) heavy cream
pinch of ground nutmeg
1/4 C Parmesan Cheese
salt to taste
Melt butter over medium heat in saucepan, add garlic and saute 1 minute. Add flour and whisk. Cook about 2 minutes until golden. Add milk and heavy cream, and whisk constantly so no lumps form. Cook on medium high until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Add nutmeg, parmesan and salt. Stir until cheese is melted. Add drained thawed spinach and stir. Cook until heated through.
