This tasted ok, but not wonderful. The color is a very bright green and a bit hard to get used to (and to take a nice photo of and make it look appetizing). I doubt if I will make this again unless I have a craving for spinach. It might be improved by adding some chopped ham or cooked sausage at the end. You'd need to reheat it until hot.
