    This is a perfect creamed spinach recipe in terms of technique, resulting in a luxurious texture and flavor. I do add 1/4 t espelette or Urfa chile, and a teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for added depth.

    The flavors in this creamed spinach are great. It is truly decadent - it has spoiled me for most creamed spinach I get in restaurants. However, the first time I made it as written I found the cream-to-spinach ratio was way too heavy on the cream side for me. I tried doubling the spinach, but of course spinach is so watery, and that just made it even creamier. Then I decided to add kale instead of more spinach. So now I make it as written, plus 1-2 bunches of chopped kale, adding at the same time as the spinach. It is still decadent, but not swimming in quite as much extra cream, plus the kale gives it more depth of flavor. And it's healthier...right?
