    Add it to Ragu reduced fat Alfredo sauce...1/4 cup is about 70 calories... Add this to a bed of grilled chicken and whole wheat pasta for a quick and easy chicken Florentine however if you can stuff pounded chicken breasts with the spinach/Alfredo sauce and bake it for real deal Florentine.

    That's what I would do.

    Maybe I am strange, but I just heat it up and eat it. It took a couple of days to get used to, but now I like it. Even better with plain heated frozen broccoli or cauliflower.

    this is absolutely delicious. I add about a cup of low fat/sodium already made pasta sauce to make it a little saucier. My 5 and 8 year olds love it as well! (lol so does DH, but he'll eat anything :D)

    Chickpea and Spinach Curry

    My family loves it when I cook this! There are 3 servings because I eat it on its own as a meal, but if you have it with rice, or pilau bulgur as I occasionally do, you can half the portion size. This is so incredibly low calorie for a huge portion and one of the meals I tend to make in bulk and keep in the freezer for a while. It really is delicious! Don't be daunted by all the herbs and spices, they are all great for using with other things.

    Chickpea and Spinach Curry
    Serves: 3
    240g chick peas, canned, drained weight (basically one tin)
    400g tomatoes, canned
    100g spinach
    8 mushrooms
    1 onion
    2g yellow mustard seeds
    5g paprika
    5g cumin
    2g ginger
    2g garam masala
    3 cloves garlic
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1/2 tsp salt
    1g pepper
    1 small red pepper
    1 small green pepper
    2 small yellow pepper

    Heat the oil in the bottom of a large pan.
    Add the mustard seeds on low temperature
    When the mustard seeds start to pop add in the sliced onions garlic and ginger with a little water.
    When the onions soften add in the mushrooms and peppers.
    Add in the spices and herbs and cover for 5 mins until all the veg is soft.
    Add in the chickpeas and cover for 5 more mins.
    Add in the chopped tomatoes and stir well.
    After 5 or so mins add the spinach (about 6/7 lumps frozen).
    Mix the spinach in so its covered by the sauce.
    Cover it up but keep stirring every few mins.
    It can be served as soon as the spinach is cooked (i.e. not frozen in big lumps, but flavour intensifies the longer you simmer it for.
    It may need simmering without the lid to reduce the wateriness of the sauce.
