1TBS fresh garlic (about 2 cloves, more if you love garlic)
1TBSflouroptional
red pepper flakesoptional
1box or bag frozen chopped spinachthawed and squeezed dry
S&Pcareful with the salt as the cheese is also salty.
¼cupheavy creammore or less
⅓cupshredded Parmesan cheese
extra butter if needed
Instructions
Melt butter in a medium skillet over med-high heat, add in onions. garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté 2 minutes, moving things around.
If adding in flour do so here, stir well and cook off the raw taste of the flour for about a minute.
Lower the heat. Add spinach (that has been defrosted and squeezed dry), cheese and a little of the cream and break up spinach stirring vigorously with a spatula or spoon.
Season well with black pepper (don't be shy) and some salt. However not too much salt since yo are adding in some cheese.
Move pan on and off the heat if you feel its too hot. Do not run the risk of "breaking" the cheese because its too high of heat.
Add in additional cream and S&P. Taste and adjust.
Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Feel free to add more onions, garlic, Parmesan or cream. You will play around with this recipe and make it your own.Depending on your preference for salt or sodium concerns, taste and adjust for saltiness from the cheese before adding any additional salt.Recipe doubles or triples easily. Go slow when adding the cream, a bit at a time to allow it to absorb.Best enjoyed right from the stove after making it in my opinion.For a thicker creamed spinach, add in 1 TBS flor just after you saute the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook off the flow by stirring or whisking for a minute or so, add in spinach cheese and cream and whisk or stir till combined.
