Fantastic recipe! Following the advice of others, I didn't use any salt except for the salt in the pasta water. I also doubled the anount of spinach and could easily have added even more. My only modification is that I added pinch of nutmeg to the spinach - something I do anytime I am using a hearty green in a dish.

sooo good!!! Yes use more spinach it wilts down to nothing! You dont need as much salt as the peccarino/romano cheese is quite salty on its own. this would be a great side dish as well. I served mine as main course though with garlic bread. My whole family loved it especially my 1 1/2 yr old. He kept saying "bite, bite, bite"

This dish was EXCELLENT!! We normally don't eat any greens, so I figured this one would be a good one to start with! And let me tell you!!! FANTASTIC! I did cut down on the pepper since I have 3 children under the age of 5 - I didn't want it to be too spicy. But they LOVED it! Next time I will add a bit less salt. I liked it but my hubby thought it was a touch too salty. Otherwise so SOOOOOO YUMMY!!! Thanks Giada!!!! My family FINALLY eats spinach!!

Very yummy. I used less olive oil and less pepper (I was afraid to use that much but next time I will. I agree with doubling the spinach and using less salt - I did both of these changes as well.

I used gluten-free pasta, and substituted the marscapone cheese with Boursin with pepper, because that's what I happened to have on hand. I didn't use salt, and also used the entire bag of spinach. It was delicious! My family loved it.

I was in the kitchen making this recipe when the actual episode came on tv (a repeat, of course. Outstanding! I used the entire package of spinach (9 oz. bag and no salt. We liked it without the salt and I would suggest letting people add their own salt, if needed. The salt from the pasta water and the romano cheese was plenty of salt for us. Creamy comfort food on a damp, rainy day. Will try the polenta soup from this episode over the weeekend! Thanks.

Update: Made this again tonight for company for dinner. Used fresh hand-made parpadelle pasta and used a combination of coarsley ground and fine ground black pepper. This recipe is a WINNER !

I just made this with my mother and it was fantastic. It reminds me a lot of a dish I got very often from Olive Garden (which is now off the menu, what. This recipe is absolutely delicious. However, I did follow everyone's suggestion and used salt and pepper to taste. The salt from the pasta water and just a pinch extra later was more than enough. My mother also made some garlic and black pepper chicken, which we cut into cubes and put in the dish. I'm not sure I'd eat this without chicken in it as a main dish - just a side one! We used some of the leftover Pecorino Romano to top to taste on our own plates, too, it adds an amazing flavor. Yummy, I totally recommend giving this a try!

Super yummy! I read the other reviews and doubled up on the spinach ( it came in a box pre washed 10 oz and it was not too much, just right. I added a little extra mascarpone and used one cup of the cooking liquid and it was perfect. Enjoy!
