    Not good. Dry and bland, even though after reading the
    reviews, I added hot pepper flakes and parmesan cheese.
    What a waste of time and money...not to mention all those
    dishes and bowls to wash. I'm very disappointed.
    I can't believe I just threw away a whole pan of pasta.
    Just so you know: My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed
    some of the desserts from your cookbook though.

    My family loved the recipe - made 2 batches because my one son has to eat gluten free. So when making the sauce I did add extra spice & parmesan for flavour, & used fresh spinach not frozen. Couldn't get Smoked Mozarella, but did get Smoked Goats Cheese & it was equally good & full of flavour. To everyone wanting to "throw" this recipe away - try it with your choice of seasoning added before you do that. This is a good basic recipe. It's a keeper.

    I just took this out of the oven, and it is sooo good! I read the comments about blandness before I made the dish, so I substituted one cup of chicken stock for one of the cups of milk and added parmesean cheese to the "bechemel" sauce, and sprinkled in Italian herb mix to the ricotta spinach mixture. There are a number of layers of flavor, though none are too strong, overall I'm a huge fan-

    Like many of the other reviewers, I was excited to try this recipe because it included spinach and ricotta, a typically delicious flavor combination. However, I found the dish bland, and I even made some changes in an attempt to increase the flavor. I included lots more chopped onion and garlic than the recipe indicated and I also stirred plenty of parmesan and romano into the spinach/ricotta sauce. This produced a lot of dirty dishes but only mediocre results. On the plus side, I enjoyed drinking the remainder of the bottle of white wine I purchased for use in this recipe.

    I love all the ingredients in this dish and was looking forward to a great dish for dinner, but I was very disappointed with it. It was ok, but very bland. My family rates all the new recipes I try, and they said this was a throw away recipe. It looks much better than it tastes.

    It looked so appealing, but is so bland that it's not worth the bother. Maybe some herbs (fresh basil, thyme, rosemary? would liven it up, but sorry Dave -- there are just too many tasty alternatives to consider making this again...

    this recipe is excellent IF you punch it up with extra seasoning. i used a bunch of crushed red chilis (added with to the shallots and garlic, 2 shallots, 6-7 cloves of garlic, garlic salt, and about 1/2 t. of italian herbs. also, used half and half instead of milk, and parmesan instead of mozz.
