For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of cheeses such as Gruyere or Asiago in addition to or instead of Parmesan. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the creamed spinach and mushrooms with an immersion blender after cooking. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors and add a refreshing zest. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, for a unique flavor profile. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or as a flavorful topping for crusty bread.
