Excellent recipe! We thoroughly enjoyed this for a VERY hearty lunch with crusty bread. I had no spinach unfortunately, and I had to use fresh tomatoes which did not impart much colour - but the flavour was there however! I used some left over pulled pork from my own Porchetta recipe and tinned beans as suggested. Excellent flavours and a very useful recipe to keep for the future. Made for PAC Spring 2008 - thanks Abby! FT:-)
