Notes
- Fresh Spinach Creamed Spinach - Replace the frozen and thawed spinach with two pounds of steamed baby spinach. See my recipe tip in the post for How to Steam Spinach.
- To store. Creamed spinach can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make ahead. You can easily make creamed spinach to reheat and serve at a later time. Store in the refrigerator as listed above. Reheat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until reheated completely. Additional cream and Parmesan Reggiano may be added to give the dish back its signature creaminess when reheated.
