This went together very nicely. Loved the addition of the spinach to the sauce, but we thought the sause as written was a little bland. I added a little salt and pepper and red pepper flakes which added a lot of flavor. I used fat free half-and-half to decrease some of the calories. I think you could decrease the amount of flour also as I had a lot left over. I'll make this one again. Made for "Let's Party" game.

Delicious! This tastes like a restaurant quality dish and smelled wonderful while cooking. I used Swiss chard from the garden instead of spinach and it worked out very well. It's a little rich (but fabulous) from the cream, but could probably work with half and half instead. I would definitely make this again.

I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
