I made this today with my homegrown spinach and parsley. It was easy to do and tastes great. Luckily I washed my spinach very well as I found a baby snail amongst the leaves !!!!!!! I have used it in dollops on a pizza for dinner tonight. This makes a generous amount and I will freeze some to put with pasta during the week. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.
