This is a lighter version of creamed spinach, from Cooking Light magazine. I absolutely love creamed spinach, and I'm happy to find a lighter version. Don't forget the nutmeg...it really adds to the flavor!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more garlic and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great! The creamed spinach is always creamy and flavorful, and the mushrooms add a nice savory flavor. I usually serve it over rice or pasta.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the spinach was overcooked. I think next time I'll use less cream and cook the spinach for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the spinach was overcooked. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
