WOW!!!! Increase this recipe big time. I made 4 servings for 3 people for dinner and we were all staring at the empty bowl looking for more. Followed recipe exactly. I will make this one again and again.

Amazing! An excellent dish! The simple, delicate sauce with just a hint of garlic was irresistible. The spinach, just wilted, was a visual delight. Guests enjoyed this dish so much that I had to give them the recipe. Bev, you have done it! Really a memorable dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I think I actually prefer creamed spinach made with a white sauce - and I have yet to find an amount of creamed spinach that could not constitute a single serving - but this is quite good.
