Creamily delicious: great blend of flavours and very quick to make, so I'll be making this again. And next time, I think I'll add some pinenuts. HAD to add garlic as I was making this for a Potluck Tag 'When in Transylvania Party', so I added 4 cloves of finely minced garlic to the onion which I also finely minced. LOVE spinach, so I added some chopped fresh baby spinach leaves - always have baby spinach in the fridge and these needed to be used - to the frozen spinach. I used a low-fat cream which I find never impacts negatively on either flavour or creaminess, and I added about 1/4 teaspoon of cumin. Thanks, puppitypup, for sharing a super recipe which we really enjoyed.
