This is Martha Stewart's recipe. I find it easy to make and yummy.

Mrs. Kostyra’s Creamed Spinach

2 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, well washed (not dried), tough stems removed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly grated nutmeg
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Place spinach in a large pot over high heat. Cook covered, with just the water clinging to leaves, stirring occasionally until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander set in a bowl to drain, squeezing out excess liquid. Reserve spinach liquid. Roughly chop spinach. Set aside.

In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk; season with salt, pepper and sugar. Thin with reserved spinach liquid. Stir in spinach. Season with nutmeg and top with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Serve immediately.
