Creamy Spinach Parmesan
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp butter
1 Large bunch spinach – washed, drained and chopped
1/2 clove fresh garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese – freshly grated is best
Preparation:
Heat large skillet to medium high (350°F for electric skillet.) Add butter and melt; then quickly add garlic and allow to brown for 1 minute. Add the spinach, reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, until it wilts and much of the juices evaporate. Depending on the moisture of the spinach, it'll exude quite a bit of liquid. Cook it down until there's a about 2-3 tablespoons of liquid left. Add the heavy cream and cook down for a one to two minutes. Sprinkle in parmesan and mix. (If mixture is still a bit thin, allow the parmesan a few minutes in the skillet. It has good thickening power of its own.) Makes 4 Servings.
Note: If you are not a garlic fan, skip it, and replace it with 1/2 tsp lemon zest for a very fresh taste that complements the parmesan quite well.
Carbs: 4.6 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.
