CREAMED SPINACH (LIKE BOSTON MARKET)

Creamed Spinach (Like Boston Market) image

This is by far the best creamed spinach recipe that I have ever tasted! My mother got married in early Nov and my brother (a chef) served Bar-B-Qued Filet Mignon, oven roasted red potatoes, this creamed spinach, salad and garlicy cheesy bread - Talk about heaven!! The creamed spinach stole the show and 1/2 the guests left with the recipe! He found the recipe on the internet, it is a copy cat recipe of Boston Market's creamed spinach. (I think it's better).

"ALMOST" BOSTON MARKET CREAMED SPINACH

This is quite similar to the creamed spinach at Boston Market, well so I'm told anyway! --- this is a great side dish, even people that hate spinach love this, it's great to serve along side a holiday turkey or a ham dinner, or at any meal --- I also like to saute about 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper in the butter for about 2 minutes before adding in the flour but that is optional, add in some grated Parmesan cheese too if desired, this complete recipe can be doubled :)

To save time, use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan before adding the spinach to prevent it from sticking.
For a richer flavor, use grated Parmesan cheese instead of shredded Parmesan cheese.
