Ingredients
  

  • Fresh spinach – 500 grams
  • Butter – 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic minced – 2 cloves
  • Onion finely chopped – ¼ cup
  • Heavy cream – 1 cup
  • Cream cheese – 4 oz
  • Parmesan cheese – ½ cup
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • Nutmeg optional – a pinch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach

  • Wash spinach thoroughly. Remove thick stems if needed. Chop lightly for easier cooking. This helps the spinach cook evenly and mix well with the creamy sauce later.

Cook the Spinach

  • Heat a pan and add spinach. Cook for a few minutes until wilted. Stir occasionally. Remove excess water and set aside. This keeps the dish from becoming watery.

Cook Onion and Garlic

  • In the same pan, add butter. Melt it over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Then add garlic and cook for one minute.

Add Cream and Cheese

  • Pour heavy cream into the pan. Add cream cheese and stir well. Cook on low heat until smooth and creamy. The mixture should look thick and rich.

Add Parmesan Cheese

  • Add grated parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until melted. This adds a strong cheesy flavor and thickens the sauce further.

Combine Spinach with Sauce

  • Add cooked spinach into the creamy mixture. Stir gently until fully combined. Make sure spinach is evenly coated with sauce.

Season the Dish

  • Add salt, black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. This step enhances the flavor.

Cook Until Thick

  • Let the mixture cook for a few more minutes. Stir often until it becomes thick and creamy. Do not overcook.

Serve Hot

  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. The texture should be smooth and rich. Enjoy your homemade creamed spinach.

Notes

  • Remove excess water from spinach
  • Cook on low heat for creamy texture
  • Use full-fat cream for richness
  • Add cheese slowly for smooth mixing
  • Taste before serving
  • Serve immediately for best flavor
