1. COOK SPINACH: Cook frozen spinach in microwave as per package instructions. I add a teaspoon of water and microwave covered 3.5 minutes on High. Drain in strainer, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. It's ok if a little bit remains. Note 1 for using fresh spinach.
2. MAKE CREAM SAUCE: Heat butter and/or oil on medium in a medium saucepan. Add onions and saute gently for a few minutes. Add garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Mix in flour to make a roux. Stir for a couple of minutes until it turns pale brown. Add any combination of milk and cream that you like to equal 1.5 cups. I use mostly skim milk and about 1/4 cup cream. Stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using) to your taste.
3. COMBINE: Stir in cooked well-squeezed spinach. Add Parmesan cheese if using. If mixture is too thick, add more milk until desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. Note 2 to make ahead.
