Can I Use Frozen Spinach?
Yes you can. Please note I recommend you to use fresh baby spinach for this recipe.
Frozen spinach contains a lot of water, and we are already adding vegetable broth to the recipe so that might make a mess.
Otherwise, if you want to use frozen spinach, assure to fully defrost and drain.
