    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
