Both my boyfriend and I were not fans of this recipe. The tart flavor of the spinach was overwhelming, and it did not mix well with the garlickiness.

YUMMY! I would make this as a dip for bread, as an appetizer too. Very healthy. This is a great pesto, without all the added fat of pine nuts.

An interesting recipe. I was intrigued by the idea of using tofu as a creamy sauce base since my boyfriend is lactose intolerant and I can't make creamy sauces often. The recipe says "firm silken tofu" which is confusing since those are the two ends of the tofu spectrum, but assuming it meant soft enough for use in a sauce, I used soft tofu. I don't have a blender so I cut up the spinach by hand and used a mixer for the rest. It was still a little thicker than I'd like so I added more chicken stock. I also increased the spice, and used a variety I had on hand instead of 'italian', and tossed in some tomatoes. It turned out very well.

Delicious! I left out the tofu and bacon, used fresh oregano and basil in place of "Italian seasoning", and used only white mushrooms. It was amazing-- quite a lot better than I expected. I'm glad I tried this and will make it many more times in the future.

Good stuff. I thought more bacon might have been better, if a little less sexy.

My hubbie and I didn't really care for this recipe, it was very bland and I agree with some of the other opinions: the color wasn't appealing. We tried adding garlic salt and garlic powder to give it more flavor, but it didn't help. Maybe if you fry bacon, onions, and mushrooms together it might help. I don't know if I'd make this again, it was a lot of work.

I just made the sauce itself - left out chicken broth and all the mushrooms. It was amazing. It tasted like it was very bad for you, when in fact it is very healthy. five stars!

I guess it was ok for healthy pesto, but I really don't think it tasted all that great. Both hubby and I said it was ok to eat, but won't be making it again. Maybe it's the raw spinach taste, but something about this dish is not right. It looked a bit unappetizing too.

a very healthy alternative to pesto (spinach is so good for you) but not exactly the same thing. I liked it as a spinach sauce-type thing but a pesto it is not...

Not as good as everyone made it out to be. Try Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta ...so much better and half the mess.

Um, I hate to be the one with the dissenting opinion, but my husband and I hated this dish! I was so looking forward to a good vegetarian pasta dish, but this just wasn't what I was expecting. It came out looking like green goo, which just didn't look very unappetizing. It was also bland as could be. No amount of salt and spices could fix it. I ended up washing off the somewhat expensive mushrooms for use in another meal and threw out the pasta. Sorry, but I will not be making this again.

A great, healthy alternative. It was really good but the recipe says "firm silken tofu". It should possibly say "firm or silken". Also, perhaps frozen spinach would work, too? Will try this again!

Oh this was yummy. I didn't have bacon bits, so I substituted turkey pepperoni, diced very small. This one is a keeper.
