Ingredients

10 oz baby spinach
8 oz cream cheese cubed and softened
1/4 cup parmesan shredded

Instructions

Place the spinach in a large skillet. Over low heat, begin to wilt the spinach. I like to add a tablespoon of water to help it steam.
Just as the spinach begins to wilt, add the cubed cream cheese. Turn up the heat a notch, no higher than medium-low heat. Remember, you don't want to overcook the spinach!
Stir until the cream cheese has melted and the spinach is cooked.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

This is a simple, base recipe that is delicious on its own. However, if you want to change up the flavors, you can. For example, use your favorite cream cheese (chive and onion would be good), add garlic, or toss in a pinch of nutmeg.
