    OMG, this dish is amazing! It wasn’t enough for my hungry family, so I’ll have to double it up next time. I love that my 6 year old daughter who hates vegetables even loved it with the spinach. It’s creamy, well seasoned, and so delicious.

    This is so good! It was a hit with the whole family. I love to add mushrooms and garlic. And if you like a bit of a kick, it’s really good with some red pepper flakes on top!
