    Wowza. This is one tasty dish! The freshness of the basil, tomato and garlic burst from the background nuttiness of the brown rice. The texture is wonderful, the checca sauce light and juicy, the small cubes of mozzarella are silky in the middle of the chewy lentils and rice... terrific. My only suggestion would be to make a double batch because one loaf goes very quickly (one meal for a family of 5 and the amount of prep is significant. Nothing complicated, but lots of little stuff to chop and remember, lots of steps. I'll make this again but I want leftovers so I'll double the recipe to make it more worth my time.

    Second, be sure to use (starchier short grain brown rice rather than long grain. I bought the wrong kind and the rusulting loaf was not as compact as it should have been because I was missing that extra starch. I also added about a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to the checca sauce to brighten it up a bit.

    I made this dish for myself and my boyfriend. He typically has to have a meat at every meal. I made this and a small salad and he really enjoyed it! It was satisfying and filling but we didn't feel over-stuffed after eating The flavors were wonderful and I had never really cooked with lentils before but I really really liked them in combination with the other veggies and brown rice/cheeses! Although we had A LOT leftover! Wow this could feed like 10 people! I guess we will have leftovers for a few days! :

    This was a great recipe. We all loved it. I am on a calorie diet now and would love to know how many calories are in a serving. Thanks

    Normally I think Giada's recipes are the best! Especially her vegetarian recipes. However I have to say this was disgusting! I couldn't even finish mine and it took FOREVER to make too! Sorry Giada but this one is definitely not a keeper. If you're thinking of making this, I'd think twice since like I said it is pretty time consuming and our leftovers were thrown out!

    Ditto to most of the comments made regarding the flavor of this dish - awesome and healthy to boot!

    One note: The water can easily be removed from the spinach by putting it in a potato ricer and squeezing out the water that way. I do this all the time with spinach for 'florentine' dishes, shredded potatoes for hash browns, and shredded cucumber for tzatsiki sauce.

    Loved this dish! I am a vegetarian and my fiance is a meat lover. I am always looking for creative (and healthy! veggie dishes and this one did not disappoint. He often says veggie dishes aren't filling, or would be better with xyz meat, but had no complaints with the veggie meat loaf. My only complaint is the name, I'm not fond of eating 'loafs'! Any ideas?
