"I'm a huge fan of spinach, not to mention pasta. This makes a spectacular dinner-all you need is salad & of course, garlic bread. It's quick, easy and minimal clean up! This comes from The Great American Favorite Brand Name Cookbook."

A winner-will add 1 or 2 more tomatoes next time.

This was pretty good, went together REALLY quickly, using only a pot and a fry pan, which was nice. The few changes I made~ used butter instead of marg, used a lg can of plum tomatoes instead of the fresh roma and didn't use the milk. The plates were cleaned, so this will go into my 'quick fix' file for quick easy dinner! The other bonus, most of the ingred are easily kept in the freezer or cans.

This recipe has everything needed to be a winner: it's easy, uses "normal" ingredients, is healthy, and my toddler gobbles it up! I did omit the mushrooms (didn't have any on hand...probably because I can't stand them). Cut margarine down to 1 TBSP (since there were no mushrooms) The only change I would make would be a little more tomato and less spinach...maybe a third to half as much. This recipe really tastes fantastic and will go in our "favorites" book to be repeated many times in the future. Thanks!

It was very easy to make, but the sauce lacked something. Maybe I'll use fresh spinach instead of frozen next time.

I tried this tonight because I had all of the ingredients on hand. This is my kind of recipe, it very tasty, has nice presentation and it is easy to throw together. I know I will make this again.

Born, raised and living in the great state of Texas! In addition to cooking, my passions are decorating, reading, poking around antique/junk shops and travel (I was a travel agent for 15 years). I used to collect cookbooks, my favorites being Southern Living, but now I have Recipezaar which is a lot more fun. I'm always on the lookout for recipes with shrimp, pasta, or spinach.
