• Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the defrosted spinach - set aside In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over med heat. Stir in the flour and let it bubble, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Do not let it take on color. Slowly whisk in the half and half, making sure to reach the edges of the pan as you whisk. Continue to whisk while the mixture slowly comes to a boil. Stir in the parmesan cheese and salt. Turn off the heat and add the Tabasco sauce and white pepper.
