Creamy spinach

Ingredients

• Wheat flour

  White, all-purpose, unenriched

  1 tsp or 3g

• Butter

  Unsalted

  ½ tbsp or 7g

• Reduced fat milk

  Fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin a and vitamin d

  ¼ cup or 61g

• Spinach

  Raw

  ¾ package (10 oz) or 213g

Directions

1. Bring 1/2 inch of water to boil in a medium skillet. Add the washed spinach leaves and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander. Rinse with cold running water until cool. Squeeze the spinach in batches by hand or through a fine-mesh sieve to remove as much liquid as possible. If you have a food processor, you'll use it in the last step, but if not, now is a good time to chop the spinach very finely.
2. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat, add the flour, and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil.
3. Transfer the spinach mixture to a food processor. Puree until smooth and then let cool before serving.
