It's delicious. And yeah, definitely use frozen spinach; it's 1/10th the cost of "fresh" and really, I only consider something fresh if it's been picked the same day I use it. Bagged spinach has been sitting on a truck, then in a store for days if not a week or more, losing all it's nutrients.

This should have been amazing, but i really botched it. Word to the wise: DO NOT substitute garlic powder with a haphazard improvisation of pepper, Mrs. Dash and crushed red pepper flakes. GROSS! Such a shame! Halfway into my preparations, i realized that i had left my shiitake mushrooms AND garlic powder at my boyfriend's house...what are the odds? well, my attempt to salvage the recipe stunk, but i definitely want to try it again!

A nice change of pace from the regular spinach dish. I added some parmesan for extra flavor.

Only 4 stars since I added to it: I used fresh garlic, added a tsp or so of lemon juice, a dash of crushed red pepper and a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce to jazz it up. It was very good. My husband wrinkled up his nose at it until he tasted it, he thought he only liked canned spinach. He had seconds.

This is so delicious! Don't be shy with the garlic powder, though. I was not disappointed in the taste and I don't really even like shitake mushrooms. The shitakes are an excellent ingredient in this recipe. Highly recommended!

Big fan of spinach here, but did not care for this dish. Maybe with some seasonings other than garlic powder. Won't try this one again.

Looking for a different way to use my shiitake mushrooms, I decided to try this recipe. It was so good, my bf loved it. I also tried adding squares of aubergine and it was soooo delicious!

We found this to be too bland for our tastes. Maybe I should have used more garlic powder.

I love this recipe! Since my girls don't like mushrooms, I have replaced them with carrots sliced thin so they cook at the same rate as the onion. I also added basil and oregano to give it more flavor... but not too much - you don't want to over-power the spinach.

Quick, easy, and tasty. I used a LOT of garlic powder to get it to taste the way I wanted it to, so maybe minced fresh garlic would be a better choice for people who like a lot of flavor. This is going to replace my normal, boring spinach at the dinner table from now on.

While easy to prepare, this was lacking something. I added a lot of garlic powder but it still needed salt, pepper and then I finally added bacon. Won't be making again.
