    Made it last night. I didn't have raw spinach but I had raw baby mixed greens and they tasted good too. The guys were hoping for a hunka meat, so they weren't crazy. Oh well.

    This one is a keeper! I didn't have quite enough ricotta, so I added 2 weges of laughing cow white cheddar I also sprinkled it with Mrs. Dash for added flavor - 4/20/17

    This was very good (we added ground beef) but we found it a bit bland. Next time we will do the beef in taco seasoning first to add a bit of kick. Over all, a yummy one pot meal. - 6/12/15

    Bland for me. I poured marinara sauce over serving after it was on my plate. Good if mixed. - 7/5/18

    My family loved this recipe. I made it just like the instructions said except no nutmeg as I didn’t realize I was out. Added a little lemon pepper also. So good - 2/25/21

    I didn't care for this at all. The ricotta didn't set and the spinach was not cooked enough. - 4/29/17
