      That shape pasta is one of my favorites and the addition of spinach makes this downright healthy - right?

      I've never had frozen creamed spinach before. I always buy fresh (or dig it out the garden when it's growing). I love the sound of this recipe but I think I would stick with my fresh spinach for the dish!!
