Notes

*If your spinach is frozen and not thawed you will need to cook it covered for an additional minute or two. Once it gets to be soft you can continue with the additional ingredients
 
*If you prefer fresh spinach you can use 5 cups of fresh baby spinach in the recipe. If you don’t want to cut zucchini ribbons you can substitute fresh or frozen zucchini noodles.
