This Ruth’s Chris–style Creamy Garlic Spinach is a steakhouse classic that turns a simple green into a rich, indulgent side dish. Silky, velvety, and deeply flavorful, it’s the kind of spinach that rivals the main course on the plate.
Fresh spinach is lightly blanched, finely chopped, and folded into a luxurious garlic cream sauce made with butter, cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan. The result is ultra-smooth, intensely savory, and perfectly balanced without being overly heavy.
What sets this dish apart is technique. Properly drying and finely chopping the spinach ensures a thick, creamy texture with no excess water, while gentle heat keeps the sauce smooth and glossy—just like you’d expect at a high-end steakhouse.
