Spinach with Cheese Sauce, Cooked
Spinach with cheese sauce is a cooked vegetable dish combining tender, wilted spinach leaves with a creamy dairy-based sauce. The spinach contributes significant iron, vitamins A and C, and dietary fiber, while the cheese sauce adds protein and calcium alongside saturated fats and sodium from ingredients like milk, cheese, and butter. Typically prepared by steaming or blanching spinach before coating it in a roux-thickened cheese mixture, this dish balances nutrient density with indulgent flavor but requires moderation for those monitoring calorie or sodium intake.
