    I added fire-roasted tomatoes and served over some thinly sliced, grilled polenta. Excellent main course dish for a meatless dinner! Delicious and will make again. - 3/6/08

    Everybody, including my 3 year old liked it. I can't resist messing with any recipe, so I added a cup of chopped tomatoes, some ground black pepper, and I used only 1 tbsp. of the oil - that was more than enough - otherwise I think it would have been greasy. - 1/16/08

    Hi folks, I'm new to these recipes, but one thing has me stumped. Each one gives nutritional info per serving, but how am I to know how much is in one serving? - 1/14/08

    I saute the garlic and spinach and I added onions as well until the spinach is slightly wilted then added the beans since they are already cooked. Delicious! - 1/14/08

    I found this kind of bland and the beans seemed mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I don't think this ine is for me. - 1/13/08

    Pretty good. I like spinach, but I think the amount of Chickpea was a little more than you needed. I also added some mushrooms. - 3/4/09

    Absolutely horrible. Spinach was soggy and limp and there was hardly any flavor. - 3/21/08

    Oh I just tried this for the first time, and I love it! I might add some extras to mine next time... maybe mushrooms to see how that goes. Really good, easy to do which is also a plus for me :) - 1/19/08

    My SO and I both love this and have made it twice already. I threw in some crushed red pepper as I was sauteeing to add a little punch to it, and that worked out great. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe that gets some vegetable into my system! - 5/28/07

    This was delicious! For those who thought the spinach was too wilted or the garbanzo beans were mushy/grainy. You cooked it too long. I added in baby bellas, roma tomatoes, lots of garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice and it was awesome! Taking the leftovers to work tomorrow. :) - 4/16/12

    funny, I just made up a recipe last night but I used small white beans and spinach it was yummy kinda like pasta fagilo without the pasta. I use 1/4 cup of beans and lots of spinach to serve just one - 6/21/09

    Ooohhh... this sounds delicious! I think I'll pan fry a Boca Bruschetta patty, then add the spinach and chick peas (maybe only 1/2 can, though) and a couple of slices of lemon. I can't wait to try this one! - 6/21/09

    Added onion, mushrooms, black pepper, red pepper flakes, & lemon juice, as suggested here, plus sesame-seed salt. All the ingredients are good, but it was still too bland for me. My husband did like it, however. - 3/26/09
