Creamed Spinach

Anyone have a homemade recipe for this?

I usually just buy the frozen kind but wanted to try something different.

Thanks!

Re: Creamed Spinach

nuke a couple packs of chopped spinach. Squeeze out the excess liquid. In a sauce pan, sautee a diced onion in butter. Add a minced garlic clove, salt, and a bit of cayenne. Then add the spinach. Add light cream and stir.

yum!
