Creamed Spinach
If you’re looking for an easy side dish that looks fancier than it is, creamed spinach is elegant and luxurious. This classic steakhouse side dish is luscious and decadent, packed with nutrients from fiber-rich spinach. Each leaf gets sautéed to perfection and then coated in a savory cream sauce. Parmesan cheese helps add extra tangy flavor, while a splash of whipping cream makes it extra thick and creamy.

4 packages (10 ounces each) fresh spinach, trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
In a Dutch oven, place steamer basket over 1 in. water. Place a fourth of the spinach in basket. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil; steam, covered, 3-4 minutes or just until spinach is wilted. Transfer to a colander; drain. Repeat with remaining spinach.
When spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze dry. Coarsely chop spinach.
In clean Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour, salt and white pepper until blended; gradually whisk in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheese and spinach; heat through.
