This is a great recipe. It has a good texture, a nice flavor, and it looks good enough for entertaining. I had one slight variation from the recipe: I had a 1lb package of spinach and I used it all. I highly doubt that anybody would have noticed the difference had I only used 10oz. In my opinion, a lot of the depth comes from the parmesan cheese that you use since it is the saltiest, strongest flavored ingredient. I used a freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and the result was stellar. Tanks Richard-NYC for the recipe.
