In your saucepan, sauté the onion in the butter for about four minutes until it starts to soften. Add the water and bring to a boil. Stir the oats in and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the oats, stirring often, for about eight minutes. Add the spinach and stir until it has completely wilted. Add the cream, cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper.
