Popeye and Bergy certainly know what they are talking about, this spinach rocks! I didn't change a thing! It was so quick and easy to make, I can see myself making this as a quick meal anytime. The kids weren't too crazy about the strong taste of the Parmesan, I think next time I'll try a mix of Parmesan and Mozzerella. Great one, Bergy!

This is a really good recipe. Last minute sauteed spinach is great but not always practical. This is a wonderful tasting fresh spinach dish that can be prepared in advance and put in the oven for the finale. I would change nothing...
