Marry Me sauce recipes are THE BEST!
This recipe is so, so good! Savory and not overly rich. Will definitely be a part of my regular rotation. I just want to point out that either the nutrition facts or serving sizes listed are off. Thanks for another great recipe, Jill!
I am making this again for the second time this week! It is so delicious and I can’t think of a better way to use the spinach and kale from my garden. Thank you so much!
Absolutely delicious! Quick and easy. My omnivore husband told me to put this into our regular dinner rotation.
Such an amazing recipe! Thank you so much—my carnivore son loved it too!!
Very yummy! I used lemon juice instead of white vinegar. I love soups that are slightly lemony – it goes especially nice with the spinach. I drizzled more lemon juice on the soup after it was dished up.
… This is so addicting! I made it again and this time I doubled the sauce while substituting the vinegar for 6 tbsp lemon juice, as well as using more smoked paprika to 3 tbsp, and some salt since I have low blood pressure. This made it saucy so I could serve it over roasted vegetables.
Loved this. Delicious!! Will definitely make it again.
I am curious. Why do you specify a stainless steel pan?
It’s been a long time since I recorded that show. I probably just meant to steer clear of non-stick pans.
