Loved this dish. We rate our dinners opposite yours 1 being I could eat this once a week and 5 is please dont make this ever again! Our kids, 10 and 16 gave it a 2! That is impressive! I switched broccli for spinach for the kids as they really dont like spinach. It was great though and asked them to at least try the spinach. They still don't like spinach! The pine nut made the dish a wonderful complete taste! So fast and easy!
