Christina's Creamed Spinach

from Pioneer Woman Cooks!

1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 medium onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 cup milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
12 ounces baby spinach

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pot. Sprinkle in flour and whisk together. Cook over medium heat for five minutes or until light golden brown. Throw in onion and garlic and stir together, cooking for another minute. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, and cook for five minutes while you cook the spinach.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate pot. Add spinach in increments until all incorporated, and cook until wilted but not soggy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Season the cream sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add spinach to the cream sauce, stirring gently to combine.
Serve immediately.
