This was great and we will make it again, but we made a couple of alterations to the recipe, and would make more. In an effort to reduce the fat, we used less sausage and more chicken, we also reduced the butter and oil by heaps and used light cream to finish it to give it a sauce. In future, we would add the fresh tomatoes and spinach about 1 minute before the dish was finished as they cooked away quite a bit more than we'd have liked. But, this tasted fantastic, and is made with things we always have on hand in the fridge or pantry, so a real winner for us and in a way, worthy of 5 stars.
