  1. I thought this was really good. I used about a half of a 9 oz. bag of fresh spinach instead of canned and added about half of a large chopped fresh tomato that I had left over from lunch, with the spinach . My husband thought that there was too much yellow pepper. But I thought it was just about right. In any case, there weren't any leftovers. Next time I will add the whole bag of fresh spinach. It wilts down to nothing. I give this five stars because this is a good basic recipe that can be played with. Sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers or calmata olives, come to mind. A sprinkle of feta cheese might be substituted for parmesan. I will make it again.
