Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/3 cup asiago cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a small sauté pan heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on MEDIUM, add pine nuts (be careful they burn quickly! Make sure you are constantly watching and stirring them). Toast lightly (about 1 minute) remove from heat and add 1 tbsp honey. Transfer to a small bowl and let pine nuts cool.
  • Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the small sauté pan. Add onions and garlic. Fry until translucent (do not brown). Sit onions/garlic to the side to cool.
  • On MEDIUM heat, add 1/4 cup butter to a large saucepan. Once butter has melted add the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add milk to butter/flour mixture, stirring constantly until you have a thick sauce. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until melted.
  • Add the onion/garlic mixture to the cream sauce.

  • Spoon honey glazed pine nuts over the creamed spinach and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the spinach. This will help to prevent the spinach from overcrowding and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the spinach over medium heat. This will help to prevent the spinach from burning.
  • Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Add the sour cream and toasted pine nuts to the spinach just before serving. This will help to keep the sour cream from curdling and the pine nuts from getting soggy.
  • Serve the spinach immediately.
