You tell me to add oil twice. When do you add the spinach? I cut the oil in half and recalculated the nutritional information. With half the oil - and measuring it- it came in at 386 calories and 5-2 cup servings. And it is Delicious!!!!! - 5/12/21

The calorie/fat count for this recipe completely omits the oil. Four tablespoons of oil over six serving would produce a SIGNIFICANT increase in the number of calories! - 1/2/16
