I made this today and it was very good, even though I misread the recipe and sort of confused it with another. I mixed the spinach, ricotta, beaten egg, and milk together with the Alfredo sauce and it worked perfectly. I added skim milk mozzarella and shredded Parmesan on top of every layer before the noodles went down like another recipe I printed recommended. <br/><br/>The only reason I did not give this recipe 5-stars is because a 5-star dish is a perfection and heaven on a plate This was very, very, good and it will certainly become a regular in my house but I don't believe it warrants 5-stars. I will probably mix everything together again because it was really easy and turned out well. I used light Alfredo sauce and it was still very flavorful.
