Not what I was expecting, but still good. Nothing spectacular.

Easy and straightforward dinner, nice flavor. I alteed it by cooking the onions in with the ground beef and substituting chicken broth for the water. Good dinner for a weeknight.

This was just ok for us...a lazy man's lasagna. The spinach was too overpowering and the dish itself was rather bland...thats after added some Italian spices and more garlic. I don't think this is something that we will make again. It was easy, quick, and inexpensive...just not for us. Thanks anyway for the post.

This was a great, easy and cheap meal to make. It was also an easy way to get spinach into my toddlers. I did not saute the onions and liked them being a bit crunchy. I would leave out the water next time.

I recommend cooking the onions with the beef. I am not a big fan of raw(ish) onions. I would also use a smaller ratio of cheese next time if I choose to make it again. I found it way too heavy for my taste.

We thought this was average. For our taste, it had too much spinach. I did add a bit more seasonings and had to add more when it was finished to overcome the spinach flavor.

I thought this was a wonderful and quick meal idea. I usually cook light so I used wheat pasta, ground sirloin, and all light chesses. The spinach put a wonderful twist on this recipe. My husband also loved it. I will be making this again real soon! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious! For those who had a problem with wateriness, I make two suggestions. First, the originator of the recipe posted a review in which she said she forgot to say that the meat mixture should be simmered for 15 minutes. Second, make sure to thoroughly drain your cooked spinach. I put mine in several layers of paper towels and squeezed until no more liquid came out. I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and added more seasoning to the meat, and I sauteed the onion and garlic with the meat as well. The result was a very flavorful dish that I'm sure I will make again.

This recipe tastes quite excellent. It just needs more spices and a little less water.

This was pretty tasty although I cut back on the spinach, used ricotta cheese instead of cottage, and skipped the water and used more tomato sauce instead.

Most people liked this when i made it, I agree with everyone who said you need to like spinach to really get into this one. I increased the recipe to 60 servings - it had way too many noodles & I'll use less water next time. Overall it brought on many compliments so I'm giving it 4 stars.

My husband really liked this, but it was a little bland for me and I added extra spices to the sauce as someone else recommended. Next time I would just make regular lasagna and add spinach instead.

I have to give this 5 stars because it constituted one of the occasional times that my boyfriend immediately said, "This is a keeper!" As others have said, if you season to your own taste this works really well. I used plenty of garlic, garlic salt, oregano and basil. Adding a bouillon cube to the water seemed to add extra flavor. I used sirloin ground beef and it didn't generate that much fat in the pan, so I kept it as is and let the juices mix with the tomato sauce. Non-fat cottage cheese worked quite well and made us feel a bit healthier!

I thought this one was pretty good. The wife didn't care much for it. I believe she is wrong. Sauce could use a little something though and maybe just a little more of it.

This turned out DELICIOUS. After reading the reviews, I modified this recipe for our personal tastes. I tripled the garlic, and halved the salt. I doubled all the rest of the spices, the onion, and the Parmesan cheese. To combat the dryness that people complained about, I used a #2 can of no-salt added diced tomatoes for an 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, and did not add any water. Subbed ground turkey for the beef, and Provolone cheese for the Mozzarella. Did not pre-cook anything--just squeezed ALL the moisture out of the spinach, and diced the onion very fine. While we couldn’t specifically taste the cottage cheese, all the flavors blended together so well that my hubby said that this was a GREAT “light” version of lasagna, and that we should have it often. And we will, since it is so very simple to make.

This recipe is good, and it is very much like lasagna with the smaller noodles.
