    Very Good
    Very good, HOWEVER, the recipe does not tell you what to do with the tomatoes nor the first 1/4 cup of parmesan. I put the tomatoes in when I put in the spinach. I substituted frozen spinach for fresh. I also put the parmesan on table to pass around instead of tossing it in. - 4/8/08
