This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This is very good, and except for two small things, it would be "excellent" One is it has way too much sugar. With the use of sweet Bartlett pears, it would have been overly sweet if I had not cut the sugar in half. Second is it could use a higher fruit/bread ratio. I will use three cups of fruit the next time.
