Answer 2

Just a hint.. anytime sour cream is used in a recipe you can replace with yogurt but yogurt has a slightly zingy taste to it.
You can make an easy type cream sauce:
In a bowl mix sour cream (or yogurt if you like the taste), crushed garlic, salt pepper, parmesan cheese and set to blend flavors.

Cook chopped spinach and drain.
While spinach is hot mix in room temperature cream mixture.

By the way: this makes a good mock alfredo just use hot pasta

Answer 4

I have never seen one, cream spinach is made with a bechamel sauce. I cook the spinach with onion and garlic. Then add a medium thick cream sauce ( bechamel ) made with heavy cream. Season this with salt , pepper , and nutmeg. I have seen yogurt used in dressings on hot sandwiches, but to cook the yogurt is not advisable it will curdle.

Answer 5

Believe it or not there is rarely any dairy in creamed spinach, actually sugar which forms a sauce. Since it's whitish in color it was named creamed.

Answer 6

Ricotta chesse and parsley is good too
