I halved the recipe. It was a bit on the dry side, but the flavors were awesome!!! Maybe I should have cooked 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes or left the sauce as is and just use one box of spinach?

I made this exactly as written. I grate my own fresh nutmeg and next time will cut back on this as the nutmeg was a tad over-powering. Otherwise, very good and very easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
