Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 oz pkg baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp fat-free cream cheese, cut into cubes
1/3 c low-fat milk
1/8 tsp sea salt
pinch black pepper
pinch nutmeg - or more to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large skillet on medium. Add spinach and cook until wilted and easily gathered into a mound with tongs, stirring constantly. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out all excess water. Transfer to a cutting board and chop coarsely.
  • 2. In the same skillet, heat oil on medium. Add garlic and stir occasionally until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cheese and milk. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until cheese melts and mixture thickens into a smooth sauce, 2-3 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Taste and add more seasonings if needed.
  • 3. Add spinch to cheese mixture, separating with your hands; stir gently to coat.
