Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Spinach Alfredo Sauce.
Step 1
Start by placing a saucepan over low heat and gently melting the butter until it’s beautifully smooth.
Step 2
Once the butter is ready, add in the thawed spinach, stirring occasionally to ensure it warms through—this should only take about a minute.
Step 3
Next, pour in the rich heavy whipping cream and introduce the cream cheese to the mix.
Step 4
Keep stirring continuously, allowing the cream cheese to melt completely into the creamy goodness, which will take around five minutes.
Step 5
As the mixture comes together, gradually fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkle in some garlic powder for that extra flavor kick.
Step 6
Don’t forget to season your sauce with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Now, let the sauce simmer on low heat for about ten more minutes, allowing it to thicken and become irresistibly smooth.
Step 8
This creamy spinach sauce is perfect for drizzling over pasta, serving with grilled chicken, or simply enjoying with crusty bread.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you create this comforting dish!.
