Before starting, preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 6: 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp spicy! Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot.

4
Make sauce

Sprinkle with flour and remaining Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend. Cook, stirring often, until onions are coated, 1 min. Add 1/2 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl), then bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, 1 min. Remove pan from the heat, then add spinach. Stir, until wilted, 1 min.
