I made this for my picky eater in-laws and parents one weekend and they kept eating the leftovers all weekend! It keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge, so if you want a dish to nibble on during the week then this is a great choice. We subbed some sharp vermont cheddar in place of the mozz to give it a little more kick. It surely can handle it.

My Mom and I were watching the show and decided to give this a try. I'm a vegetarian so it seemed perfect...it wasn't. It was pretty bland, pretty dry and overall not great. It may have made a decent side dish, but definetly not a main course.
Mom says "Awful! Dry, bland and not worth wasting expensive cheeses on."

This recipe is one of my favorites from the Everyday Pasta book, I have always made the recipe "as-is" with no need to substitute ingredients or make any modifications. The red pepper flakes give it just a little heat, and the nutmeg gives it that "wow" factor and taste that makes guests wonder what the secret ingredient is. Even if you're not into spicy, this recipe really isn't that hot.
I usually make this a day ahead of when I want to serve it and chill it overnight. Like Giada says in the book and like other reviewers have stated here, it always tastes better reheated or microwaved the next day.

Husband thought it was pretty good. I was disappointed in the flavor. Found in bland and dry. Won't be making this one again

Easy to prepare, but the taste was extremely disappointing. Not very cheesy, a little dry, and the flavor was a little weird. I would recommend against using frozen spinach.

My two year old daughter loves this recipe, and has been eating it since she started on table food. Don't be put off by the "spicy" in the title if you're making it for kids. You can leave out the red pepper flakes -- but even if you include them, it's not hot.

My boyfriend asks me to make this all the time. Everyone in my family loves it.
I follow the recipe exactly as it is, but I like to use cellentani pasta instead of elbow macaroni.
Even if you think you don't like nutmeg, use it anyways. I don't like nutmeg in most things, but it fits so perfectly into the flavors of this dish.

With two very picky kids, it's hard to fix food they like,and keep me and my husband out of the junk food "rat race". This side dish is very good and easy. It is also a delightful twist to add variety to your dinner routine.
