Two weeks ago I had some leftover feta cheese that I needed to use and wanted to serve pasta. Made creamed spinach with a recipe just like this one, but added the crumbled feta to it and served it over egg noodles. My family ooooohed and aaaaaahed all through dinner and said I could serve it again any time. Fast and delicious!
I made this last night, while reading the next installment in Pioneer Woman's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels Saga. I really did enjoy the recipe, but it seemed something was missing. I think next time I will add some cheese as many of you suggested. Not much, just a bit. I can't leave recipes alone either.
This looks incredibly good. But... knowing me and how I just can't leave a recipe alone... I'm wondering how some freshly grated parmigiano reggiano and a tad bit of nutmeg would be... hmmmm....

I've never been tempted by creamed spinach because the spinach always looked too mushy. This one is calling to me.
It's almost as good looking at it as eating it! I have just one place for you to get yer shallots - www.penzeys.com. I use them when I can't get the real thing, and trust me, it all works!

The dark leafy greens are a perfect match for a well-marbled beefsteak.
Similar to the tannins in red wine. I think the addition of cream makes the spinach a more luxurious side befitting an upscale restaurant. Many Americans need lots of butter and cream on green vegetables!
OMG, I adore creamed spinach. In a pinch (don't hate me!) I've even thrown some Stouffer's into the mircrowave. The nutmeg is what it's all about to me for flavoring. Has to be fresh ground.
I make spinach with garlic salt and pepper in a skillet with olive oil and that is very tasty. I don't mind creamed but to me its mushy like babyfood. Covering good veggies with a sauce (with heavy cream) often is not what I like. It just seems like overkill to me.
I am, to be delicate, not a fan of vegetables. But I must admit that looks awesome.
I don't think there's any spinach in season here, how would frozen work out?
Try some cheese & nutmeg. I've never eat or seen creamed spinach without cheese or some sort of flour to thicken it, like a bechamel sauce. This should actully be called, "SPINACH IN CREAM."
