Steps:
- Blanch spinach in batches by cooking it in salted, boiling water for a few seconds, then plunging it in ice water to stop the cooking. (To save time, use frozen, chopped spinach!)
- Squeeze out excess liquid and chop.
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, saute bacon 2 or 3 minutes. Add diced onion and continue to cook until onion is translucent another 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic, spinach and seasonings and cook another minute.
- In a medium saucepan, heat butter until melted. Add flour, stirring with a spoon until flour is incorporated and begins to turn slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until sauce begins to thicken about 3 minutes.
- Add cream sauce to the spinach mixture.
- In a food processor pulse spinach 3 or 4 times. It should retain its texture. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Can be made a day ahead of time.

CREAMED SPINACH A LA LAWRY'S
I worked at Lawry's the Prime Rib on restaurant row in Los Angeles for many years. This is the recipe they gave out for their famous creamed spinach. Fabulous! Even better if you use heavy cream rather than the half and half and I always add a touch of sugar too!

Tips:
- Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture compared to frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before cooking.
- Cook Spinach Properly: Do not overcook the spinach, as it can become mushy and lose its鮮豔色彩。 Cook the spinach just until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use Good Quality Cream: High-quality cream will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Use heavy cream or half-and-half for a richer sauce, or use milk for a lighter sauce.
- Season Generously: Do not be afraid to season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve Immediately: Creamed spinach is best served immediately after it is made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Creamed spinach is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender spinach, creamed spinach is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
