LOVE this recipe. I added a touch more onion and garlic, and a little less Parmesan and I agree...it's better than BM. I also started with the butter, onion, and garlic in the same saucepan, added sauce ingredients, added spinach, and built the entire recipe in there...anything to avoid washing another pan! -
This was a hit with my spinach loving older boy. Since it's spinach season here I used fresh, but will make with the frozen variety during winter months. A very good side dish with roasts! Thanks for posting.
