Love Italian food like creamy Tuscan chicken? Then you'll enjoy this simple Tuscan Creamed Spinach! Frozen and thawed spinach is cooked with sun-dried tomatoes, cream, garlic, herbs and parmesan. All in less than 15 minutes and using just a few common ingredients.

This recipe is adapted from our Classic Creamed Spinach but I skipped the mascarpone and used more cream which I reduced to just about half for a creamier result.

For a complete keto dinner recipe you can serve this creamy spinach side with crisped up, skin-on chicken thighs or grilled chicken breasts, pork chops, or any fish or seafood. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)

  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (37 g/ 1.3 oz)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (240 ml/ 8 fl oz)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (30 g/ 1.1 oz) or use any other hard cheese of choice
  • 600 g frozen spinach, thawed (1.3 lb)
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. To a medium pan add the chopped, drained sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant for 2 to 3 minutes. (If you're using oil-free sun-dried tomatoes, add 2 to 3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.)

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.
