This recipe was passed on to me by my cousin. She's a vegetarian and served it for us one time when we visited. It's delicious....
So good some elect to not to use a fork....
Finger lickin' good.....
Yes! I made that last weekend too :) I threw in chicken sausage with spinach & feta, because I didn't have any pine nuts, and substituted chicken broth for milk, because I didn't have any of that either! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI made this for a St. Patrick's Day potluck with bow tie pasta. Kids loved the "Leprachaun Bowties" and the parent's really liked it too (not just for the nutrition of eating spinach either)! I did make it dairy free using Almond Milk and everyone else just added grated Parmesan to their plates.
