Make this 6-ingredient recipe after a long hard day when you don’t want to fuss, but still want something that’s good and satisfying. Another plus: It’s ready in less than 30 minutes. You could make it even more fuss-free by using half a package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, instead of the fresh spinach. This recipe is based on the traditional central Italian soup called stracciatella alla romana, made by drizzling an egg-cheese mixture into boiling meat-based broth and stirring, producing small shreds of egg. The result is deeply comforting. Sprinkle with a little chopped fresh parsley for color and flavor.
