MMMM - just like Grandma used to make! I couldn't find a 16 oz. package of spinach, so I had to use 20 oz. I did not drain it, though. I also used 2 eggs and low-sodium chicken broth, as well as plenty of parmesan cheese. This couldn't be easier, and just tastes so comforting and healthy! Thanks for sharing this recipe that I will be making often!
