Instructions
- Wash and dry the spinach leaves if using fresh. Pinch off any tough stems and roughly chop the spinach.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and place in a strainer to drain.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and add the onion and butter to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until melted.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and salt. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Gently squeeze any excess liquid from the spinach and stir it into the cream sauce. Taste and season with additional seasoned salt and pepper.
Notes
- Fresh spinach can be substituted with 10 ounces of frozen chopped spinach.
- Parmesan cheese can be stirred in with the spinach if desired.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
