This is a great recipe that I made up while my husband was cooking pork chops. I wanted to make a vegetable dish and wanted something quick and easy and happen to have around 5 pounds of spinach in the freezer. So, I ended up using a 1 pound (16 oz.) bag of defrosted spinach for this recipe and it came out great. I couldn’t believe that the kids actually were wolfing down spinach.
We all know that spinach is a very healthy vegetable and the USDA actually claims to be a super food because it is so packed full with vitamins minerals and nutrients. But spinach has one big problem – most kids and adults absolutely hate its taste. Well, this recipe changes all that and more. Just try it and you’ll see what I mean.
My Fast andEasy Spinach Side Dish
Ingredients:
1 bag of spinach (16 oz.)
1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 TBL garlic powder
3 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions:
I squeezed out the juice and put 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauteed it. I added 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. Then I thought it could use something else so I added 3 ounces of cream cheese and let that melt into the spinach on low. Next I put the crushed tomatoes in and cooked it for several minutes on low.
Then I garnished the spinach dish with Parmesan cheese and it was ready to serve. This is, as I said, a quick and easy dish that tastes great at the same time. Serve and enjoy.
This quick recipe is amazing – the kids loved it and actually ate their spinach! They liked it so much they wanted seconds and thirds! Thank you for making my family want to eat more vegetables!
Great idea here for some tasty vegetables. I made this and it was not only an easy recipe, but also a very tasty one. My husband whom hates most vegetables actually had seconds of this one. Thank you for the great recipes.
