Easy to make and delicious: a great midweek meal! I made this exactly to the recipe, except for adding closer to ten cups of baby spinach leaves - I love spinach - and some fresh basil. I loved the cannelloni beans in this too. I found Kozmic Blues photograph enticing; it was that in part which drew me to the recipe, so I used pasta shells as in the photograph. How’s that for midweek lack of imagination! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed one portion of this tonight. Really yummy! And I’m taking the rest to work tomorrow to share with work colleagues! Thanks for this recipe, Marie!
