Urgent Spinach Carbonara Pizza: Tips and Tricks for Using Frozen or Fresh Spinach

[RossDeb2]

Has anyone used the frozen spinach for this recipe? If so, how many packages? Alternatively, does anyone know the conversion of 8 cups to ounces or grams? I have a 10 oz/284 g bag of baby spinach. I'm wondering if I would need 2 packages or 3 packages if I use the fresh baby spinach. Does anyone have any tips on making this. We made it at our cluster meeting but obviously I was not paying enough attention to all of the small details. We added red pepper for visual interest and taste. It was really good.

You cold probably use one package of frozen spinach, thawed and DRAINED. It's very wet so you wouldn't want to use it without draining. I used fresh baby spinach and it was half of a bigger bag of spinach. Red peppers are a great idea for color.

I've used the frozen spinach. Drain it really well, and then separate it. it worked just fine - I've made it this way several times at home, because it's a family favorite already!
