Every thing was good, but it needed more seasoning Next time I will add more flavor. I will definitely make this recipe again.
So I kinda followed this recipe eyeballing
everything and adding ingredients.. I used chicken, added chopped asparagus and mushrooms.. I found this recipe to be a great base for formulating my own to meet our personal taste..
I’ve been subbing turkey for ground beef for a slightly healthier choice. Also, I like to add 3 teaspoons of crushed red pepper and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. For a slightly different taste, you can substitute half of the spinach with fresh basil.
Thank you for those tips. I always like when people try new things and share. 🙂
