Almost Boston Market Creamed Spinach

---

This is quite similar to the creamed spinach at boston market, well so i'm told anyway! --- this is a great side dish, even people that hate spinach love this, it's great to serve along side a holiday turkey or a ham dinner, or at any meal --- i also like to saute about 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper in the butter for about 2 minutes before adding in the flour but that is optional, add in some grated parmesan cheese too if desired, this complete recipe can be doubled :)
