I was so excited to make this recipe full of my favorite ingredients but something was off. It had a bitter aftertaste which I think was from the spinach leaves or perhaps the cherry tomatoes weren’t ripe enough. I welcome any suggestions?

I'm not sure what to suggest. Mine wasn't bitter at all. The only thing I can think if is what you suggested. The spinach leave might have left that taste.

im going to make this dish for tonight's dinner. It doesn't say but I'm assuming the pkt of Alfredo sauce gets mixed into the milk mixture. It looks yummy!

Hi Pat. The first direction in the recipe card shows how to use it. Add the water, milk and butter to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir in the contents of the Knorr sides Alfredo mix and cook for about 6 minutes.. I will add those notes to the post above too. Carol
