A healthy, rich, vegan eggless version of an italian classic. . . It contains many helpful minerals, free from gluten and fat, and will melt in your mouth. . . Be sure to blanch the spinach for at least 5-8 minutes, as well as squeeze it thoroughly so that the oxalic acid, that which reduces iron intake, is diminished.
