Quick Creamed Spinach image

A spinach dish, creamed with a roux of butter, flour and water. It's very easy to make, but slightly time consuming on account using fresh spinach. It is well worth the effort though!

This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy side dish. I love that it can be made in one pot. I also like to add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for a bit of brightness.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach. I also like to add a handful of chopped mushrooms or bacon to the sauce for extra flavor.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add extra salt, pepper, and garlic to give it some flavor. I also think it would be better with a different type of cheese, like cheddar or Gruyère.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I actually really enjoyed this recipe. The creamy sauce and the Parmesan cheese helped to mask the bitterness of the spinach. I would definitely make this recipe again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my creamed spinach turned out watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I've tried many creamed spinach recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of nutmeg and Parmesan cheese really elevates the flavor. I also love that it's made with fresh spinach instead of frozen. It makes a big difference in the taste.
