Creamed Spinach
This rich and creamy dish tastes just like traditional versions, but with a fraction of the calories and fat.
Ingredients
- 1 medium shallot, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 bags, 10 ounces each fresh spinach, large stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
- 3 ounces 6 tablespoons light or reduced-fat cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
- Coat a large sauté pan with oil spray. Sauté shallot over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and sauté until wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add low-fat cream cheese and stir until melted through. Season the spinach with salt, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
