  • Combine spinach and 1 tablespoon water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

  • Add cream cheese and milk to the pan; whisk until the cream cheese is melted.

  • Add Parmesan, garlic powder and pepper; cook, whisking until thickened and bubbling.
