    This was a HUGE hit at our dinner table tonight! What can I say except that it was completely delicious. I have to deal with some of the pickiest eaters on the planet (Mikey style as they hate everything and they kept coming back for more. For them, I couldn't follow the pepper quantities but brought my peppermill to the table. I added extra spinach and followed how Giada made it on her show rather than the written recipe. (Marscapone & pasta water right into the spinach before adding the pasta Seemed easier: Bringing my leftovers to work! xxgdl

    This was a very quick recipe to prepare, and served as my introduction to mascarpone cheese -- I had never cooked with it, and it's scrumptious!! A VERY delicious and easy dinner. Yum.

    Excellent! Made it with authentic ingredients, but doubled the spinach.

    This was top notch. Came together really quickly as well. I would like to try it next time cutting back on the mascarpone and oil a little for calorie/fat reduction and see how it turns out. I also used a whole wheat fusili. I think next time I'll use more spinach, too. I just expected more spinach in the end, but it was still delicious.

    The perfect recipe!!! Kind of reminds me of an alfredo sauce but much lighter and fresher tasting! LOVE this recipe. Also, very easy to make.

    Love this recipe! The second time around, I tried to do things a little differently and was pleased with the results. Instead of wilting the spinach on the stove, I put it in a microwave safe container with a little water. I put minced garlic on top and microwaved covered for 1 minute. I added pepper to that and then added it to the pasta. Saved time, was less oily and made for an easier cleanup.

    It was good, not great. good flavor but Too rich and oily. I even reduced the mascarpone down to 1/2 cup (in an effort to reduce fat & calories. Even doing that I felt it was a bit too rich I couldn't even finish my serving. I also think 1/4 cup of olive oil was too much as evident by the amount remaining in the bottom of bowl. Next I'll reduce it to an 1/8 which will improve that. Will like make again with further reduction of cheese and oil.

    just made this tonight and thought it was easy & delicious. didn't have mascarpone, but did have that cooking crm cheese and it worked perfectly. maybe a little less parm cuz it was a bit on the salty side, but still really good.
