After a week filled with lots of rain, this dish was the perfect comfort. Not only is it good for the soul but, packed with spinach and tomatoes, it's healthy for the body, too. This delicious and nutritious meal was quick and easy to prepare and, because it only calls for 2 pans, clean up is a snap!
