    Super delicious 🥬 added more spinach than recipe suggested. Not as much stock as suggested, ham steaks (as we had no bacon) and some thyme and parmigiana to garnish. Sooooo yummy. Definitely making again. There is enough sauce for two packets of gnocchi or over something else...grilled chicken or pork steaks.
