    Cooked as per directions - only difference is that I used fresh spinach. Was a very bland dish... will have to tweak. - 12/14/16

    really liked this receipe. i didn't use the olive oil and used fresh spinach. Yum! I also squeezed the spinach to get the water out. - 1/11/11

    Delicious! Just a little too wet with spinach simply drained; I squeezed mine nearly dry. - 11/17/07
