Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 oz pkg baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp fat-free cream cheese, cut into cubes
1/3 c low-fat milk
1/8 tsp sea salt
pinch black pepper
pinch nutmeg - or more to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large skillet on medium. Add spinach and cook until wilted and easily gathered into a mound with tongs, stirring constantly. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out all excess water. Transfer to a cutting board and chop coarsely.
  • 2. In the same skillet, heat oil on medium. Add garlic and stir occasionally until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cheese and milk. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until cheese melts and mixture thickens into a smooth sauce, 2-3 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Taste and add more seasonings if needed.
  • 3. Add spinch to cheese mixture, separating with your hands; stir gently to coat.

This is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I had a bunch of spinach that was starting to wilt, and this dish was the perfect way to use it up. The spinach was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and garlicky.
