Creamed Spinach
Report
This creamed spinach recipe calls for 1 pound of spinach, but remember spinach cooks down to almost nothing. A pound of spinach isn’t too much, I promise. However, if you do have leftovers they reheat beautifully.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion minced, small, yellow
- 4 garlic minced, large cloves
- 6 ounces ricotta cheese whole milk
- 2 tablespoons milk (whole, low fat or nonfat all work)
- 1 lemon zested and juiced, small
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pound spinach fresh baby
Instructions
- Saute the aromatics: Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion has softened.
- Make the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the ricotta, milk, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, and nutmeg. Stir to create a sauce.
- Cook the spinach: Increase the heat back to medium, add the spinach to the skillet a few handfuls at a time while folding it into the sauce. As the spinach starts to wilt keep adding more until it’s all been used up. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Taste and serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add a little extra lemon juice if it needs to be brightened.
