These were amazing! I served five including 3 men, one who doesn't like spinach, all plates were licked clean. Two of the men did a midnight raid and almost finished them up. I did however use my own sauce with the sausage added only because I had some frozen and wanted to save time. Definitely a recipe!! Enjoy!
