This was a very tasty and quick recipe. I used the lemon juice option (out of white wine) and it gave this a nice, bright flavor. The only change I would make is to add the spinach a little later as it was verging on being overcooked. Excellent recipe though and will go into regular rotation. Thanks, GreanEyes!!

Made for Spring PAC 2008This was delicious. I will use slang now and say"right up my alley" which means I could eat it again and again. I used dry white wine and frozen chopped spinach squeezed dry. It was soooo easy!
