Meatless Monday ~ Spinach Alfredo Linguine

The Mr. and I have decided to have one meatless meal a week, saving money and hopefully eating healthier.  Hence the name Meatless Monday!  I came across this recipe and of course tweaked it to our taste and what I had in my kitchen (for example, I didn't have "frozen creamed spinach" so I used "frozen chopped spinach" and added some Philly Cooking Cream).  Here's the delicious result.  You've gotta try it!!
