Creamed Spinach

Published on in Recipes

Whether it’s a side dish at a steak house or Indian sag paneer, there are few things more comforting than a silky side of creamed spinach.

So when the “naked” baked chicken I made needed a warm, comforting side dish and I hadn’t gone to the grocery store in a few days, I dug around for what I had on hand: a can of spinach, 2 tbs of butter, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, a handful of mozzarella and s/p. I had everything I needed for one of the best things that could ever happen to a vegetable.


Here we go!
