Wash the baby spinach and while it is still wet, put it in a large skillet.
Cook the spinach over medium heat, tossing well, until wilted and tender. About 5-6 minutes.
Transfer the spinach to a strainer and let it drip and cool to the touch. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze it dry between your very clean hands. Just remove most of the water, it doesn't have to be totally dry.
Return the spinach to the skillet or put it in a bowl large enough for mixing. Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion flakes. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the spinach to an oven-safe dish and top it with a sprinkle of cheese (options), then bake at 375-F until it is hot and bubbly and lightly brown on top, about 5-10 minute depending on the size of the dish. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Card Tips

Squeeze the spinach thoroughly before mixing it into the sauce. This single step is what determines whether the finished dish is thick or watery.
Add the cream gradually rather than all at once. How much water you squeezed out changes how much cream the mixture needs.
Don't be surprised by how much a pound of raw spinach shrinks down. It's normal, and it evens out once the sauce comes together.
