Steps:
- Pick over the spinach and discard any tough stems or blemished leaves. Rinse well and drain.
- Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan and add the spinach. Let it cook about two minutes and drain, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible from the leaves.
- Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the milk, stirring vigorously with the whisk. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is thickened and smooth.
- Put the spinach into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly, stirring down as necessary. There should be about one cup.
- Put the spinach in the sauce and stir to blend. Bring to the simmer and swirl in the remaining one tablespoon of butter.
