6 T (3/4 stick) butter
1/4 c all purpose flour (or a little less gf flour)
1/4 c chopped onion
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
2 c whole milk

Recipe

Saute' spinach in 2 T melted butter till limp; set aside.

Melt 4 T butter in heavy skillet (I used a 12" cast iron skillet) over medium heat. Add flour and stir until light golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in onion, bay leaf, and clove. Gradually whisk in milk. Whisk until mixture boils and thickens, about 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes longer, whisking frequently. (I whisked the entire time) Discard bay leaf and clove.

Combine sauce with spinach, mixing to coat the spinach.
