Prepare this simple, low-carb skillet dish featuring spinach and mushrooms in a rich cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz fresh spinach
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts down completely.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese until it melts into the vegetables.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth and coats the vegetables.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use garlic butter instead of plain butter.
  • If you want to add protein, cook 1 cup of cooked, diced chicken breast before adding the mushrooms.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free option, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
