Paul Mccartney's Spinach Tart image

This recipe was featured in a magazine recently. It is from his new Meat Free Monday Cookbook. It is just lovely as it is. The only thing I changed was to use fat free half and half instead of cream. I will submit it with that change so I have the updated nutritional values.
