  --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          Cooking spray
    2               bags  fresh baby spinach -- (12-ounce)
    1         tablespoon  light butter -- (stick butter)
       1/3           cup  finely chopped onion
    2          teaspoons  bottled minced garlic
    1         tablespoon  all-purpose flour
       1/4           cup  fat-free milk
       1/2           cup  tub-style light cream cheese -- softened
       1/2           cup  reduced-fat shredded white cheddar cheese -- (2 ounces) (such as Kraft Cracker Barrel)
       1/4      teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
       1/4      teaspoon  hot sauce
  
  1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking
  spray. Add spinach; saute 5 minutes or until spinach wilts. Drain spinach
  in a colander, pressing spinach with back of a spoon to remove as much
  moisture as possible.
  
  2. Melt butter in pan; saute onion and garlic over medium heat 3 minutes
  or until tender. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add
  milk and cheeses; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until cheese
  melts. Add spinach; cook 3 minutes or until spinach is thoroughly heated.
  Remove from heat; stir in pepper and hot sauce. 
  
  Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup).

  We used light butter, light cream cheese, and reduced-fat white cheddar
  cheese to decrease fat but not taste in this comforting side dish.
