Paul Newmans Creamed Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the spinach well and trim the stems.
• Place the spinach in a pan with just the water that clings to the leaves.
• Sprinkle with the nutmeg, cover the saucepan and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, until the leaves are wilted.
• Drain any excess liquid.
• Finely chop the spinach and return to the saucepan.
• Beat the cream cheese in a small bowl until fluffy.
• Gradually beat in the heavy cream until blended.
• Stir the cream cheese mixture into the chopped spinach.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until blended and creamy.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and the Gruyere on top. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

Steps:

• If bulk spinach is used, pick it over to remove and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and shake off excess water. There should be about 2 pounds cleaned weight, or 16 cups.
• Bring enough water to a boil to cover the spinach when it is added and stirred down. Add spinach and cook 2 minutes and drain. Run under cold running water until chilled. Empty the spinach into a deep colander and press to extract most of the water.
• Put the spinach into the container of a food processor or an electric blender and blend thoroughly. There should be about 1 3/4 cups.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes and add the spinach. Stir to blend. Heat and serve.
