Cheesy Garlic Creamed Spinach – From The Primal Low Carb Kitchen Cookbook
Makes Servings: 4 Per Serving: Calories – 416 Protein – 13 g Fat – 38 g Carbs – 5 net g
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs fresh spinach leaves
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the spinach. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté until the spinach is wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and let it drain. You may need to press it in a colander to remove all of the excess moisture.
- To the same pan, add the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella and goat cheeses. Lower the heat to low and allow the sauce to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the wilted spinach back to the pan and toss until evenly coated in the creamy cheese sauce.
Recipe Notes
I’m sorry. 38g of carbs per serving is not low carb to me. That’s more than my entire day’s carb count.
You are looking at the fat content, but okay. The net carbs are 5 grams.
I’m so excited to try one of your recipes! I spent an hour last night reading your story and almost cried. It hits so close to home! I’m only a week into ketosis and getting tired of basic food.
Just wondering .. I’d like to save my fresh spinach for salads but do have several bags of frozen spinach … How much frozen spinach do you think this recipe would call for?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being YOU and sharing your life with us!
By far the best spinach we have ever had!
Thanks so much. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
Can’t wait to try this, looks amazing! BTW I bought your book and love it!! Thanks so much for all the great recipes that a non cook like me can try to make!
Cheese – check. Spinach – check. Garlic – check. This has several of my favorite foods in it, so is a must try!
Is there a good substitute for the goat cheese? I simply cannot eat that stuff. It must be my imagination but I can smell and taste a hint of goat musk… ugh. Just my luck, huh?
You can simply leave it out or substitute any soft cheese you like. Or a hard cheese and a little extra heavy cream
Oops…correct that 48 g. carbs…that is even worse and almost 3 days of carbs for me.
That is not correct. I added a new recipe card that is supposed to automatically calculate it and the values are off. It is only about 3 net grams per serving
