This is a dish I now make at all major holidays – Mr. D. can’t get enough of it.  It comes to us courtesy of my beloved Ina and serves 8.

Creamed Spinach Ala Ina

Ingredients:

  • 4 T. butter
  • 4 cups onions, chopped (2 large)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 t. nutmeg
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • around 3 pounds (5-10 oz. packages) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and drained
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 T. kosher salt
  • 1/2 t. pepper
  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated

Cooking Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Saute the onions in the butter over medium heat in a large heavy bottomed saute pan until translucent (about 15 minutes).
  3. Add the flour and the nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened.
  4. Add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and the gruyere. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  6. Enjoy!

Snohomish, WA is where you’ll find me, architect mom, ”drafting a life”; working from home as an architect, managing my family’s lives, forgetting to clean the house, building some crazy thing or another, sometimes cooking a great meal and always packing my kids horrible lunches.
