Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs spinach , tough stems removed
2 tbsp margarine
1 shallot, large, minced
2 tbsp flour , all-purpose
1 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/8 tsp salt
1 dash black pepper

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Melt the margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
Whisk in the flour until you have a paste.
Increase the heat, slowly adding the milk while whisking to prevent lumps.
Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low.
Add the spinach to the boiling water and cook long enough to wilt, about 30 seconds.
Drain spinach well.
Place spinach on a cutting board and roughly chop.
Add the spinach to the cream sauce and stir to thoroughly combine.
