This is the perfect dish for changing things up from the norm and putting a little pizzazz back into dinner without a lot of hassle. Tried it once and my family is hooked. It falls in my top ten recipes to share. Love it!

made a few small additions to the recipe- few spoon fulls of capers, 1/2 cup red wine, extra handfull of spinach and it was lovely! very tasty, fresh and rich! The feta adds a bit of salt so don't salt it until you have tried a bite with the feta. Very fullfilling without feeling stuffed. I would add a few more artcishokes but other than that, those are the only adjustments I made. Served with warm french bread and red wine, my husband loved it!
