Spinach: it's great, it's good, it's delicious, it's green… wait, one thing doesn't fit there. Well, we love alliteration, but it's not delicious; spinach improves anything that it's in, including this Florentine-style preparation, creamy with bright citrus. And speaking of green, we've got crunchy good zucchini here, tender on the bottom and cheesy on top. This meal: it's great, it's good, it's delicious, and it's right for you.
