"Creamed" Spinach

Shared by Tammy

1.5 Points Per Serving

Pureed cottage cheese, milk and Parmesan cheese double for the traditional cream sauce served on spinach; it's a delicious trade-off with only 1 gram of fat per serving.

2/3 cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese

1/4 cup low-fat (1%) milk

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

20 ounces spinach leaves, steamed until tender and chopped

In food processor or blender, combine cottage cheese, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper; puree until smooth. Add one-fourth of the spinach; puree until smooth. In large skillet, combine the remaining spinach and cottage cheese mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, until heated through.
