Creamed Spinach - Adams Diet

[Torque]

I found this recipe in the Cincy Enquirer this morning and thought it sounded good. I'll report back after I try it.

(from the Enquirer web site)
If you like spinach only in its rich creamed variety, try this lower-fat and low-carb version.

'Creamed' Spinach

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen leaf spinach (do not thaw)

1½ cups low-fat cottage cheese

2½ tablespoons unsalted butter

In a large saucepan with a cover, combine ½ cup water and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Add the frozen spinach and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring several times, for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander, being sure to shake out all of the water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Transfer the hot spinach to a food processor. Add cottage cheese and all but 1 teaspoon of the butter. Process until very smooth. Return to the saucepan. Add salt and white pepper to taste. Heat gently and transfer to a warm bowl. Place the remaining butter on top and serve. Makes 8 servings.

I wonder how this would taste with a Smart Balance type butter

My wife made this for me last night and it was awesome! She said is was very easy too! Take my advice and don't cut the recipe in half. You'll want eat more.

I highly recommend it.

I tried this the other night and I was skeptical looking at it....when it was hot, really wasn't my thing, but once it cooled down a little and the flavors mellowed together, very very tasty, I will be making more.

Thanks for the recipe!

ME TOO!! I was shocked to taste how good it actually was ... Tonite I mixed it with whole wheat pasta and lean ground beef, it was very good and filling...
