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 one of our favorite dinners
We always double it. Recipe is very simple and so so good
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!
I’ve made this several times now because it’s so good! My family loves it! Thanks so much!
Just made this recipe for the second time. So quick and delicious!
We had this for dinner tonight and I used frozen spinach in it. It was delicious, thank you for the recipe!
