--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        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).
