Miso creamed spinach

The combination of earthy spinach and white miso makes for a side that’s unexpectedly delicate, despite the use of heavy cream and cheese. Unlike most creamed spinach recipes, this one won’t ask you to blanch the greens: The heat from the pan is enough to soften them, and they maintain that gorgeous green hue. Don’t be fooled by the volume of the spinach -- it’ll shrink in no time. If you have leftovers, consider tossing them with pasta alongside frizzled bits of pancetta or serving as a companion to butter-roasted salmon.
