This was actually pretty good, although the pine nuts contributed most of the flavor. I followed the recipe except for using leftover shredded romaine lettuce instead of spinach, and served it with potato salad cakes. I don't know if I would make this again but it was simple to put together and fit the bill for what I needed. It's a decent recipe for breaking out of the fish-and-chips rut.

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!
