Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds fresh baby spinach, stemmed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Drizzle with a 2-count of oil, add the butter, and stir it around so it melts. Saute the onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach in batches, pushing it down with a wooden spoon to help it wilt. Keep adding more spinach when there is room in the pot. Cook the spinach until it is dry, then lower the heat and add the cream and nutmeg. Stir and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Only So So
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy but not very tasty. It's spinach so it is good but the recipe seemed to be lacking something. I will... try another creamed spinach.Read more

Try Tyler's other Creamed Spinach recipe!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I had made this recipe before (or so I thought) and decided to make it for our Christmas dinner. Well, to accomodate the... amount of guests I doubled the recipe. After I finished the whole thing I thought maybe that was the problem, that I had doubled the recipe. It wasn't! I found the recipe I had made before and this was NOT it! This recipe took FOREVER to cook down the liquid and then when it finally did dry out it was lacking in color and had turned bitter...that's what happens when you cook spinach too long! Absolutely horrible! I can say his other recipe is TO DIE FOR! So good and much easier to make. So check out the one with 5 stars. I'm still surprised this one got 4!Read more

So So and way to "wet"
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Made the whole meal, and this was probably the least favorite of any of the recipes. Again, directions for the recipe don't... work, so you have to modify on the fly which is tough to do when you've got other dishes standing getting cold. Per other reviewers, needs WAAAAY longer than 15 minutes to really cook down to a good consistency. Also, flavor is a little lacking - needs more garlic, more nutmeg and I'll add some parmesan the next time - both for flavor and to help thicken it up.Read more

Bland Creamed Spinach
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was disappointed in this recipe. I read a few reviews and thought this was a winner, especially how easy the recipe seemed... to be. It was bland and took a lot longer than the 15 minutes it posted as the cooking time. You have to add about 15-20 minutes more to dry out the spinach. Not a good recipe.Read more
