Creamed Spinach

Spinach isn't something I remember liking or eating much growing up. I bet if my mom had used this recipe, I would have appreciated spinach a whole lot more as a kid. My own daughter was disappointed tonight when she discovered I hadn't made enough for her to have a third helping with dinner.

10 oz spinach
1 T butter
⅓ c heavy cream
½ c grated Romano cheese (1 oz)
Pinch nutmeg

1. Blanch spinach in boiling water 1-2 min or use frozen, thawed spinach. Drain thoroughly and roughly chop.
2. Melt butter over medium-high heat and add chopped spinach.
3. Sauté spinach in butter until wilted.
4. Add cream and reduce heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken (6-8 min).
5. Remove from heat. Add cheese and nutmeg, stirring until smooth.
