1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ cups chopped fresh spinach

Tips:

To make sure the veal is tender, use a meat mallet to pound it thin before cooking.
Use a good quality dry white wine for the sauce. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would be a good choice.
Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still retain its bright green color.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just add a little extra flour to thicken the sauce.
Serve the veal and creamed spinach over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Veal and creamed spinach is a classic dish that is both elegant and delicious. It's perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. With its tender veal, creamy sauce, and wilted spinach, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
