I'm definitely excited to try this recipe. I plan on using fresh spinach but two questions as i typically saute my fresh spinach in a bit of olive oil and serve it that way. Obviously I would not do that, so how would I first cook the spinach for this dish? And how much fresh spinach? 10oz bag? 14oz bag? Thanks so much!!!

i made a few changes to this easy delicious recipe. i used 12 oz fresh spinach, 2 tbsp boursin cheese and 2 tbsp cream cheese. i cooked everything in the microwave, first the spinach, then stirred the cheese into the hot spinach and cooked it for 2 minutes. the sauce was delicious and it literally disappeared at the dinner table. i will definitely make this again, thanks barbara

My Sis and I are on low carb diets. She does low carb and I do Banting so a recipe that I'll be preparing today is ideal to go with roasted turkey legs and thighs. I looked at the carb count of commercially prepared creamed spinach and my heart about sank lol. Loaded with bad stuff and actually ridiculously high in carbs per serving. Glad I found your easy recipe. Thank you!!!!

i have been making this for years! its way better than commercially made. my tweaks are that i also add some sauteed onion, a little nutmeg (i think any cream sauce should have nutmeg) & i also thin out the sauce a little with milk (i double the recipe, so i use 8 oz cream cheese & half cup milk) just make sure you squeeze water out of spinach real well! fresh sauteed spinach works great too
