Creamed Spinach

Image
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoon onion, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced (optional) 10 oz frozen spinach 1/3 cup half and half (or milk) 1/4 cup parmesan or romano cheese 1 tablespoon cornstarch Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sautee for about 4 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and sautee for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until heated through. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to half and half and mix, then add to saucepan. Add cheese to pan. Mix through, bring to a simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened and cheese melted. Cook's Notes:  This is a very forgiving recipe. You can use whatever dairy you have - I've used greek yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese and low-fat milk or a mixture of any of those. You may not need cornstarch if you use cream cheese. My daughter has loved this since she was old enough to eat spinach.
