Some tips for creamed spinach

• Instead of milk you can use heavy cream. Your taste buds will love it, but your jeans may not 😉
• I find fresh spinach to be milder and sweeter (stems removed and chopped), although you can use frozen in this recipe too. If you’d prefer to use frozen spinach, just defrost and squeeze out as much water as you can. If you use fresh spinach, you need to steam it or cook it down until it’s the texture of cooked and thawed spinach.
• Nutmeg may seem like a dessert spice but you’ll love the flavor in this recipe.
• For four servings of spinach you will need 1.5lb (24oz) of fresh spinach. It will look like a huge mountain of spinach but it cooks down to a very small amount!
