Wilted spinach is mixed through a silky smooth white sauce, flavoured with saut\u00e9ed onion and garlic, then served with Parmesan cheese. This side dish is a cheese lover\u2019s dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s SO much better than the average creamed spinach, which often ends up tasting like spinach and cream thrown haphazardly together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a.jpg\" alt=\"Easy Creamed Spinach in a bowl\" class=\"wp-image-86105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-why-this-recipe-works\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this easy creamed spinach recipe is the perfect Thanksgiving side, this is something I grew up with\u2026not just on Thanksgiving, but all year round. My mum would whip this up to go with <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/pan-seared-garlic-butter-steak-mushroom-cream-sauce\/\">Pan Seared Garlic Butter Steaks<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/one-pan-juicy-herb-roasted-turkey\/\">Herb Roasted turkey<\/a>, and honestly I think it\u2019s a brilliant way to get some greens in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She cooks this one of two ways. Either using fresh spinach leaves that first get wilted in a pot of boiling water or in a pan with plenty of butter. You can do either!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1.jpg\" alt=\"white background with ingredirents laid out, onion, butter, cayenne, milk, spinach, pepper, flour, garlic, salt, nutmeg, parmesan\" class=\"wp-image-86107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/INGREDIENTS-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spinach: <\/strong>I used fresh baby spinach, washed and dried.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour: <\/strong>Just some regular all purpose flour.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Unsalted butter, to cook the flour and for that rich, smooth deliciousness.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aromatics: <\/strong>You\u2019ll need fresh garlic and onion, to build that delicious, savory base.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Half and half: <\/strong>I love using half and half for that creaminess.
