       1 c  White or brown rice
            Salt and pepper; to taste
       1 lb Fresh spinach
       1 tb Olive oil
       1    Onion; minced
       1    Garlic clove; minced
       1 ts Chopped thyme
     1/4 c  Minced parsley

     1/4 lb Grated provolone cheese
       3    Eggs; beaten (optional)
  
   PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Cook rice in salted water until tender but still
   undercooked (15 minutes for white rice, 30 minutes for brown). Drain,
   rinse with cold water, drain again and set aside. Wash spinach and
   remove stems. Cook spinach in the water that clings to the leaves,
   until wilted. Cool and chop coarsely. Heat the oil, add the onion and
   saute until softened. Add the garlic and thyme. Combine all the
   ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
   Lightly oil a baking dish and add the spinach mixture. Drizzle more
   oil over the top, if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 25
   minutes. Remove foil and cook for
         5    minutes more.
