It sounds really nice. I may give a half version or so a try and see.

Hope the dentist isn't too mean.

maybe try a little homemade stock added to boost flavour??  Peas and fetta sound a little bland but think like you suggested mint could work nicely with both the feta and peas and a little stock..

i have frozen it next time i make spinach and ricotta lasagne i will add it to the nap sauce, that should do it.

Glad you didn't waste it Uni, you will probably turn it into a really nice sauce when you add it to the nap mixture. How would it go mixed with some mashed potato?
