    do you think fresh spinach (not frozen) would work in this dish? i always have a lot of this on hand but never frozen. Thanks! looks delicious 🙂

    1. The Gracious Pantry says:

      Sure! But I would double up on the measurements.

  2. Cooking Disaster says:

    I made this yesterday and it was okay. It was extremely watery and kind of bland. I used frozen spinach and did not let it thaw so that is probably why it turned out this way. I know it says not to put frozen things in the crock pot but I did and I am fine. I will definitely thaw it and drain the spinach next time as well as add lots of spices next time.

      CD – Sorry it didn’t work out!

  3. when I go to the grocery store is there a jar of marinara that says clean marinara?

    1. The Gracious Pantry says:

      Brett – No. You have to read ingredient labels. That’s part of clean eating.

  4. I love this recipe! I’m a full time student, and I work several evenings per week, and I make a batch up on this at the beginning of the week and get so many meals out of the one batch! It’s such a hearty meal and healthy too, ticks every box for me 🙂

      Elina – I’m so happy you’re enjoying it! 😀

  5. I’m new to your blog. The recipes all sound delicious but I have a question…. what do you mean when you say ” clean” sauce or “clean” marinara,etc ?
