Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh spinach, stems removed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup half-and-half
salt, to taste
freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter, add flour, and cook, stirring, until it turns a light golden color.
  • Remove from heat, then mix in the broth and half-and-half.
  • Return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened.
  • Season to taste with salt and nutmeg.
  • Wash the spinach well, drain slightly, place in a 5- to 6-quart pan over low heat, cover, and cook in the water that clings to leaves until wilted (3-4 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  • Drain well and chop.
  • Combine spinach and bechamel sauce and serve.
  • Makes 4 servings.
  • Note: recipe has been revised since the "not enough sauce" review, reducing the amount of spinach by half.
