Wash spinach leaves thoroughly.
In a large saucepan, cook spinach in as little water as possible until tender.
NOTE: As you can see, it takes a lot of spinach to feed
my family their favorite dish!
As soon as spinach is thoroughly wilted, remove from heat, and drain in a colander, pressing with the back of a kitchen spoon to squeeze out excess liquid.
NOTE: From a large pot full to

Makes 6 to 8 servings. CREAM SAUCE:
In a large frying pan or large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and saute until soft; add flour and blend thoroughly. When perfectly smooth and free from lumps but not in the least browned, add salt and pepper. Gradually add milk; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce boils (may use some spinach juice in place of milk).
