## Instructions

6. Fold in the spinach until just wilted.

## Equipment

- large pan

## Tips

- The sauce works because of cream cheese, which has emulsifiers that hold the sauce together.
- Fresh herbs like basil and oregano make a difference, but use what you have.
- If making again, serve with potatoes, not pasta.
