This was fabulous! I used fresh spinach, shallots and green garlic.(Farmers delivery this week.) Fresh grated parmesan, salt and fresh ground pepper. Made as a side dish, would definitely stand on it's own as a main course. Thanks, will make again.

Very good! I scaled the recipe down for two, added shallots with the garlic and lemon juice with the wine. Delicious!
