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

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

I loved this so much however next time I will leave out the pasta and use the mixture to make nachos, or stuff bell peppers or maybe top on a chicken breast. The mixture is awesome by itself. I drained each can half way, too soupy if you use all the liquid. Great stuff, huge hit at my house - 1/7/10

Tried this earlier this week, got 4 stars from everyone. Easy to make, I used florentine fettuccine instead of linguine to add more color and "no salt added" diced tomatoes (from Del Monte) to cut down on the sodium. There are leftovers but it was filling. We plan on having again. - 10/9/09
