I like the basis of this recipe, but think it is quite bland. Will make again but add in some italian spices.

This dish was fairly easy and tasty. I would suggest to add some salt to taste and possibly more cheese. Overall, though a good dish which I would probably make again.

Very bland and the sauce wasn't thick enough. Looked watery. I would suggest maybe using 4 oz of cream cheese to the sauce instead of the whipping cream. Add more garlic and some more seasonings. overall its an easy recipe that doesn't taste bad but I'm going to try it agian using cream cheese and more spices.

Really, really good ... I did make a few changes, based upon what I had on hand. I used penne pasta and Hunt's No Salt Added diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic. I substituted the shrimp with chicken. For the cream, I used 1 container of the new Philadelphia Original Cooking Creme ... and then I ate 2 bowls of it! My husband liked it as well. Will make again using the Philly Creme!! Planning to eat the leftover tonight!

Absolutely Wonderful in every way---easy, quick, delicious! DO NOT CHANGE A THING. Only two of us, so we had leftovers. As the pasta had absorbed the sauce, overnight in the refrigerator, I added additional 1/4 cup regular low fat milk , low heat, stirring frequently, to reheat. Just as good if not better.

This was a great meal and really fast to make! It's always great to find a recipe that incorporates ingredients that are healthy such as spinach.

Very good dish, the only thing i did different was i placed the cooked pasta in a baking dish along with the spinich cream mixture topped with cheese and baked for 10 min till cheese was melted. makes the dish less watery....this will be a regular in my house....wonderful!

Easy to make. Could have a little bit thicker sauce. Didn't use spinach because family would have never even considered something green in there! LOL! Definitely will make again.

Everyone LOVED it, especially my boys! This is def a new fav in the house. I had to do a few changes though. (my local supermarket ddnt have alot of things). I used fresh shrimp tht I cooked. I had to use 4 cheese Mex mix bcz my market ddnt have the 3cheese Italian mix... but overall it was "super delicious" as my little boy tells me. :)
