Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook for 2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk in the warm milk a bit at a time to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat to low, stir in the cheese, and let melt. Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to heat it through. (Save 1 cup for Round 2 Recipe Spinach and Cheese Souffle).

Reviews
I love creamed spinach from Boston Market and thought this would save me time and money. It just didn’t have much taste; very bland and not much flavor. I added in extra cheese but I may try again with garlic and fresh spinach.
Very disappointed. BLAND! The pumpkin spice was just weird. I hesitated adding it but decided to follow the recipe instead. The idea of the parmesan sounded so good, but couldn’t even taste it. It needed way more salt, too. I should have read the other reviews first. Not one person at my Thanksgiving table finished their serving.
Perfect balance between no cream required, how fast you can make it, and still fairly tasty. That was exactly what I needed when I wanted one more side dish for the Thanksgiving dinner this year. Thank you for the great recipe!
I was very disappointed, recipe was very bland. I guess I was expecting something a little more creamy with Parmesan flavor. I even doubled on the Parmesan as others suggested and added the garlic and it was still very bland for my taste.
After reading the reviews, I doubled the parmesan chese. and this was just fabulous!!!
This was very good. I too added some garlic and I used fresh spinach instead of frozen thawed spinach. It was fantastic. Beautiful brught green color.
OMG!!!!!!!!!! So good and easy!!!!!!!! Added a bit of garlic…….
This was a nice, very easy recipe. I think I’ll add a bit more parmesan next time, and I also like the idea of adding a bit of garlic. This makes for a very nice, creamy spinach, though, which can be easily added to as desired. I left out the pumpkin spice (didn’t have any) and used fresh nutmeg instead. That could be why it seemed to be lacking in flavor just a tad.
Is a good recipe! added a little twist to make it a dip 2 cloves garlic diced up 4 oz mozzarella and some basil(used 1 tbs from spice rack.
