Very good taste. Recipe is easy to read. This one goes in my "go to" recipe box. Thank you NurseDi. -
I tried this recipe last night - it was fantastic! I used chicken instead of beef, and also used low-fat ricotta and tasty cheese. Served with a salad and a lovely glass of wine, it was an absolute winner. I will be making again! -
A great make-ahead meal. I prepped it earlier in the day and stuck it in the fridge until I was ready to bake them. I doubled the recipe, forgot the parm (oops), used frozen spinach (since it's all I had in the house) and low-fat ricotta. They turned out perfectly. Everyone enjoyed them. Next time I'll quadruple the recipe and freeze half. -
I made this last night - my hubby loved it. I made a slight change, I used half & half ground beef & ground italian sausage then a little cayenne to kick up the flavors. Definately a keeper. -
I thought this was a great recipe and easy enough to sneak some spinach in on my two year old and husband! I 1/2 the recipe and put the other 1/2 in the freezer and it came out great. Thanks
