Fabulous way to enjoy my favourite leafy green. The pine nuts and garlic gave it great flavour, I didn't even bother with the red pepper flakes. I think you have to be a little cautious with the salt, I know I didn't use the full 1/2 tsp (probably a 1/4 tsp) and it ended up being just right - that's personal preference though. I used the spinach in a simple rice tortilla wrap with hummus, very tasty. Thanks Breezermom!

I used frozen spinach, only used one and a half cloves of garlic, instead of red pepper flakes I used a squeeze of fresh lemon (as my family isn't a fan of spicy foods at all) and at the end of cooking I stirred through some shredded parmesan. It was absolutely delicious!! Both my 5 and 6 year wanted second servings plus more!!!
