Creamed spinach

Heat the spinach in boiling water to thaw it. Drain and set aside.

Fry the bacon a little in its own fat. It can be replaced by chicken breast cut into strips and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Put the butter over medium heat in a saucepan until it melts and then add the flour. Do not stop stirring until it comes off the saucepan as if it had become a dough. Now add the milk little by little and stir it very well to avoid lumps. Once the sauce is ready, add a little pepper, salt to taste and nutmeg, stir and let it rest for a while.

Where the bacon has been fried, fry the spinach a little, adding salt to taste. Add the bacon and mix everything together.

Put the spinach in the dish and pour the béchamel sauce over it. Add the grated cheese and bake in the oven au gratin.

A little cooked pasta can be added to the recipe.
