    Hello Candy C, found this on Emeril's web site and it looked so good that I wanted to post it but you beat me to it. We made just as posted except for the addition of crushed red pepper flakes and making it and then keeping it refrigerated overnight. That way the flavors could meld nicely and then rewarmed the next day. I love spinach and this is fantastic! Thanks for posting, Diane :=)
