This recipe makes a great accompaniment with fish, meat dishes and potatoes.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR MAKING CREAMY SPINACH RECIPE

Fresh baby spinach is best for making creamed spinach. Because it is already tender and less bitter than full-grown spinach, it requires less cooking.

The spinach for creamed spinach needs to be cooked before making the cream sauce.

Moisture in spinach  needs to be squeezed off to ensure a creamy, not watery, creamed spinach. Use the same colander you drained the spinach in to press out the excess moisture before adding the spinach to the cream sauce

This creamed spinach is thickened with the help of a little flour, which is sprinkled over the onion mixture before the milk is added.
