This is really good. I made it exactly as directed and it was good and flavorful. A really nice light dinner.

This is good and quick. I used whole grain penne and cooking creme instead of cream cheese. Definitely add more spinach, I used less pasta then called for since I was cooking for just one, but I still added more spinach. One thing though, this does not taste like a 'dish'. It tastes like pasta with tomato and spinach, not really a fusion of flavor. But still tasty and something I'll make again.

I made this recipe with a few adjustments and the family loved it! I used 16 oz of Rigatoni pasta. I added 1 lb of bulk Italian sausage mild and 1 lb of bulk Italian sausage hot. Brown the sausage and then add the tomatoes and crushed pepper. I used two 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes with basil and garlic. I used 8oz of cream cheese and 9 oz of spinach. With these adjustments this will be a regular in my kitchen.

My 14 year old who hates both spinach and cream cheese loved this, as did my husband. When he asked what was in it before tasting I just said, "Pasta, greens, tomatoes and cheese." He never asked what "greens" were and gobbled it up. ;) Alterations; I used spinach fettucini, as I had that on hand, and cut the nutmeg in half since I'm not a fan. I also sauteed half an onion and some garlic before adding the tomatoes, and sprinkled generously with parmesan.

This did not turn out well at all. My husband and I both took only one bite. The nutmeg was overpowering and the tomatoes tasted weird.

Easy to make, pretty healthy (used low fat cream cheese and a little extra spinach), and yummy! My kind of recipe. We are going to add cannelloni beans next time.

I made this and my wife and I loved it. I took the advice of other reviewers and added a can of diced tomatoes w/basil, oregano, & garlic along with the can of Italian stewed tomatoes (which I cut up in the sauce pan. I doubled the amount of cream cheese to 4oz. which I softened in the microwave for 40 seconds. I used 8 oz. of spinach, which I chopped, and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. Again, this dish was outstanding. Thanks for the recipe.

It tasted really good, and it was easy to make. I used Penne pasta. Adding the grated parm at the end made a big difference. I used Cayenne pepper because that is what came up on the shopping list. It could have used more tomatoes. Next time I will wilt the spinach differently. It was awkward trying to get the spinach to wilt, the cheese to melt all at the same time in the pot with the pasta. It still gets an A.

This was excellent, though I made quite a few changes. *whole wheat rotini *28 oz crushed tomatoes *8 oz spinach *4 wedges sun-dried tomato laughing cow cheese (instead of cream cheese) It was creamy, light and delicious. My 2 year asked for 3rds! I omitted the red pepper flakes because of the kids and added garlic and italian spices while cooking the chicken.
