For a smoother texture, try using creamed spinach instead of chopped. You may need to adjust the cooking time to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
If you don't have Roquefort cheese on hand, Gorgonzola or another flavorful blue cheese makes a great substitute.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.

    I made this as a side dish for grilled salmon and it was a perfect complement. My family loved it!

  • Arvilla Monahan

    Be sure to really drain the spinach well. Otherwise, the dish can be a little watery.
