this was super fast and easy and tasted great - just what i was looking for. accidentally chopped all the walnuts, but no matter. served over whole wheat capellini, instead of spinach (had none). served with sautéed shrimp and salad of young greens. could replace some cream with milk if lowering fat/cals.
