OMG!! This was great!! I added more garlic though. On my first serving I added mozzarella and red crush pepper on top, it was finger licking good! On my second serving I added hot sauce on top! Oh my! Oh my!! I just loved it! I would definitely make this recipe again and again! Thanks for sharing! - 11/10/08

We love Spinach. The nice thing about this quick recipe is that you can alter it to fit any ethic food. Add cumin ans seasme it becomes Mid Eastern, Seasme Ginger (Ken's) & some Mung bean sprouts it becomes Asian. Add italian or Ceasar dressing. You get my point, this dish is a very flexible base. - 10/31/08
