Simple, quick and great tasting. I would serve this to company for a casual dinner without a second thought, it's that good. I used shallot for the onion and whole wheat rotini was as close to the bow tie as I could get but it worked fine for me. :D

This is a fabulous recipe, my 17 month old daughter loves it! I substitute mushrooms for the red pepper though since my husband doesn't like peppers and it's great.

I thought this was a wonderful dish. I've had similar dishes, but I think the addition of the spinach makes it stand out from the others. I did need to add more garlic and salt to suit my family's taste buds. But other than that, I followed the recipe directions. It''s easy to make, so it's great for a busy night when you want a filling meal but don't have time for fuss-and-muss preparation. I'll make this again. Thanks for a great recipe, FloridaNative!
