This dish saved me this Easter. I had to bring side dishes, but they ALL had to be made in advance! This worked out great. It's so hard to find a veggie side dish that can be prepared in advance, and still taste great, and no seem overcooked when re-heated. Good measurements on the salt. 1 TBSP seems like alot, but with the amount of spinach in the full recipe, it definitely needs all of it!!

Easy preparation and delicious! This was my teenager's favorite part of the meal. Spinach? My kids? lol I made the whole recipe because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. I love spinach. Like Mirj, I omitted the flour, but next time I will try it with the flour to see the difference. I love that this calls for 5 pkgs of spinach. One little ol' package goes so fast. We're having leftover's this morning with an asparagus-tomato fritatta. Mmm.

*****Incredibly Fantastic***** I needed a special recipe for this past Christmas dinner, for my spinach-loving vegetarian daughter. Something to be the "star" of the meal instead of the turkey. After reading various spinach recipe and reviews...I chose this. It was a HUGE hit, and everyone wanted the recipe. A star was born * I made this recipe again for Valentine's Day when my son and his new bride (also vegetarians) came to visit. Once again.... awesome*. Again the recipe was passed on. I follow the recipe exactly and will most definately make it again~ Purrfect

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
