When I was a kid in the SF Bay Area in the 1960s this was a popular recipe. My mother made it with chard rather than spinach because the spinach bolted in the garden quicker than the chard. She usually included button mushrooms and in the fall she added used chanterelles instead.
This is delicious. I have made it with ground turkey and that works well too.
Fast, tasty, satisfying, and low-carb.
