For a richer flavor, substitute regular butter and whole milk. If using fresh spinach, finely chop, boil until tender, and ensure it's thoroughly drained to remove excess moisture. To enhance the creaminess, double the sauce ingredients for a more decadent texture. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the dish.
