Creamed Spinach Recipe

I just picked up a copy of Weigh****chers Complete Cookbook and came across this recipe, the nutritional value is baed on 4 servings.  My calculation of the nutritional value is slightly off, so I guess what brands you use could change it a bit.

2/3 cup low fat 1% cottage cheese

1/4 cup 1% milk

1 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese

1/2 clove minced garlic

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

2 (10 oz.) bags triple washed spinach, steamed until tender and chopped

In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper; puree.  Add one-forth of the spinach; puree until smooth.

In a large nonstick skillet, combine the remaining spinach with the cottage cheese mixture.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Sounds yummy!  I would tend to add diced onions and mushrooms to the mix, too, for extra flavor.
