Oh, Karin, you have a winner with this recipe. I really, really enjoyed making this dish and eating it. I thought the 3 cheeses with the spinach were great, then...add the nutmeg, and WoW! Guests were impressed. Thanks for sharing a wonderful addition to my T&T recipe book. -
I didn't have garlic and pepper seasoning, so I just mixed some garlic powder and fresh ground pepper and used that instead, I just kept adding it till it tasted about right for our taste . Excellent pasta dish that we have enjoyed several times.

I live in New Zealand, I'm married and my husband and I have no children....but we do have a dog (Bruno the Poodle), and a cat (Gus the Birman)!
Back in November 2000, I resigned from a 17yr career with Air New Zealand as a Purser. I am now working as a Private Investigator with my husband - having his own Investigation Company. The work is varied and at times very rewarding as I'm sure you can imagine!
I have an absolute passion for shoes...what woman doesn't??!!!, and fashion generally, including that of Home Interiors and furnishings, and gardens.
I enjoy, among many past-times, art, gardening, water ski-ing, power walking,
and ofcourse...COOKING!!(and entertaining).
I guess my pet peeve would be running late for an appointment somewhere! 10 minutes early = 10 minutes late with me!! So, ON time is VERY late!!!
If I had a month off - no work, and no responsibilities I would buy 2 return airfares to Honolulu!! And spend 2 weeks on Waikiki Beach with my husband and 2 weeks at home in the kitchen!! And entertaining friends and family.
