1 pack of spinach
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp olive oil
6 slices of mozzarella (any would do as long it is not yet grated)
1 bottle of arrabiatta sauce (actually this sauce a roman sauce mixed with garlic, tomatoes and herbs. i took the spicy one by mistake but it was ok! my boyfriend likes it spicy and hote! hahaha! if you're not a fan of hot and spicy sauces you can use the regular arribiatta sauce or marinara sauce)
