     When I cook this dish I like to use fresh tomatoes and herbs to reduce sodium. Thanks for sharing! :-) - 12/10/08

     I make this all the time for a fast meal. However you can save a ton of calories if you don't use pasta or oil. Just cook the spinach and add any type of bean and tomatoes. Excellent choice. - 7/15/09

     Just made this using "no salt added" diced tomatoes and whole wheat spaghetti noodle. AWESOME! Can't wait to make it again. :) - 6/23/09

     This has got to be the easiest darn dish I have ever fixed!! Easy AND delicious!! I do not like spinach at all, however in this dish it was wonderful!! - 10/7/08
  • MAGTHEVLAD
     This was really good. I used whole wheat pasta. It tasted great the first night but I dont recommend re-heating. - 6/2/08
  • ANGIERASKIN
     This is really good; I used red onion, fresh tomatoes, and greek oregano from my garden, which gave it a little more spice;also used whole wheat linguine-a little too heavy with the beans. Next time I will use a lighter pasta or couscous, rice, etc. Very good flavor, will make again! - 7/14/09

     Ok so I made a few changes I used penne pasta instead and I added some red peppers and it was wonderful the trick is to add the spinach and peppers in at the last minute so the get just a little cooked - 7/11/09

     I swapped out the linguine for a blend of white and brown rices and blended in some Pecorino for the first nights dinner. For leftover I mixed in some seasoned bread crumbs and skillet fried them lilke hashbrowns. - 7/27/09
  • UNCARCHIVIST
     This recipe is so easy to make, healthy and filling. I used spinach fettucine, and it was attractive as well as healthy! My husband loved it, too - we will definitely make it again. - 5/28/08

     It's a keeper plus you can add and subtract wholesome ingredients (mushrooms, peppers, spice etal) to customize. - 9/25/09

     Thank you for this recipe! We loved it!
    Only thing was I didn't have enough fresh spinach so I added frozen - and we decided we liked the frozen BETTER! :) But it was awesome! Thanks again! - 7/20/09
  • HOCKIMAMA
     I made this, using fresh herbs & tomatoes, and added mushrooms, and it was EXCELLENT!! My son's girlfriend even tried a little bit of sauce and said it was good, and she's pretty picky! :) This is going in my recipe favorites! - 7/12/09
  • FLIEFLAP
     When I saw this recipe, I thought it was not going to be good, but boy was I wrong. I LOVE this recipe, and so much I ate all the leftovers, and I bought the ingredients again to fix it again this week. THANK you for sharing this simple and decicious recipe. - 7/11/09
  • TALLULAHTREME
     Yummy and filling...my ghetto grocery store didn't have the diced tomatoes as listed so I used the fire roasted and added vegetable magic, oregano, and basil. I also used orzo as the pasta. - 7/3/09
  • CD3990357
     Easy to make, delicious, you can even eat it without the pasta! - 11/15/08
  • FILMFEMMEFATALE
     I make a version of this. But with nutritional yeast instead of cheese. Zucchini and mushroom as well. Its awesome! - 4/20/08
  • PST_IN_JCT
     This was very good although I do advise you to drain the liquid out of the beans and the tomatoes because this was very soupy. I also made (turkey) italian sausage links on the side for the guys in the house. - 10/4/09
  • OUTOFIDEAS
     I added some onion and additional garlic, basil, oregano, and cracked black pepper...simple, nutritious, and easy to fix. I enjoyed it. - 5/15/08

     Fabulous! We ate this last week and I am getting HUNGRY just reviewing the recipe again. So satisfying! - 10/11/08
  • RENEEHASTINGS
     I made this last night and am having it again for breakfast! I used whole wheat penne pasta instead of linguine and seasoned w/ No Salt and Pepper - Fantastic! I will add onion and green pepper to the garlic next time I make it, though for even bolder flavor. - 5/15/08
  • ALLIEWIGGY
     Easy, light, fast, and satisfying. Made with oregano, basil, and fresh tomatoes with a dash of cayenne. Very nice! - 7/11/09
  • KOBEBROWN
     I added some soy sauce and hot pepper flakes for a little extra flare. Very good and easy...

    it is also pretty good cold - kind of like a pasta salad variation - 5/15/08
  • TAURUS0564
     Awesome recipe. I had to add a little lean ground italian turkey 'cause my family are a bunch of meat eaters but it was super!! My kids ate it (including the spinach) and asked for seconds. Defintely a keeper and we will be making this again. Thanks for sharing!! - 7/18/09
