    The directions call to add the spinach to the cooked pasta then add the creme fraiche/yolk mixture. Because I doubled the spinach, it cooled down the pasta and the creme fraiche/yolk mixture didn't make a silky sauce. I had to put it back on the stove top. The mizithra cheese also doesn't melt into the sauce. Despite these issues, the pasta was very tasty and easy to make. Next time I will save some pasta water, drain the pasta over the baby spinach to cook. Add it back to the pan and add the creme fraiche/yolk mixture using the pasta water as needed. I think Parm would taste better. Kefalograviera cheese was not available. Added Aleppo.
