I've tried several recipes. My mom sent me a low calorie recipe for it,
but I've made this one several times, but I sub the heavy cream with 2%
milk with no change in taste.

Creamed Spinach
vegetable dishes, vegetables
3 pounds spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit.
Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add
the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has
wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a
colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from
the leaves and chop them coarsely.
Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and
nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach
and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is
hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
