Sauté fresh spinach in vegetable or chicken broth (I also threw in some garlic and shallot), when done add nonfat ricotta and a bit of Parmesan cheese and blend/purée with an immersion blender.
Spread puréed mixture in bottom of a small casserole pan and cover with prepared spaghetti sauce (no sugar added) and top with a little more Parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly. Good for the puréed or mushy stage. I also sometimes add in a small bit of prepared pesto to kick up the flavor a bit.
Is a nice relief after all the sweet Protein shakes. My hubby says we'll use this recipe even after I back on regular food!

Just posted this to another thread. It has ricotta but mixed with spinach it's not really noticeable. You could also use cottage cheese instead of ricotta.

Hi there, I can't speak from too much experience as I'm only three weeks out but not being able to get any water in for over a day sounds serious enough to warrant a call to your surgeon. I would recommend that.
