– We like to partially thaw the frozen spinach in a colander before cooking. This helps to remove a bit of excess moisture from chunks of ice that may cling to the spinach. It helps to prevent the final dish from ending up too watery. – Vegan cheese can take a bit longer to melt than regular cheese. If you'd like to speed up this process, you can chop up your nondairy mozzarella into smaller pieces. Otherwise, just be patient! It may take a little while, but we promise it'll melt just fine.
