I made half the recipe. And it gives a lot. At least 8 servings (and maybe more) for half the recipe. I used less spinach and didn't blanch them. My son of 6 years old liked this a lot. He had the choice to have this for his lunch today or pasta with spaghetti sauce and he chose your recipe. Thanks Maria :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game
