    First of all I love Rachael Ray, but this dish was barely edible. My family gave it a thumbs down.

    I made both recipes and then COMBINED the spinach mushroom mixture to the Chicken ragu and served the whole thing over brown rice. Kids love it and didn't realize they ate so many veggies. Just did regular toasted garlic bread on the side. Will definetely make it again.

    This is delicious a weird combination but it works perfectly together. I have had this recipe almost 10 times and each time is almost something brand new!

    Overall very good. However next time I would add less rosemary, it was a little over powering and I only used 2 spriggs. I also added sauted portabella's to the mixture, which were delish.

    this ragu was extremely flavorful! i made sure to taste during the different stages, and by the time i got to adding the whole wheat pasta, i almost didn't add it! the ragu was just awesome even without the pasta.

    like another viewer, i did find only 1/2 lb. of the pasta was actually needed. the entire family loved it. this will definitely be a go-to dinner staple for us.

    thanks rachael!

    I only made the chicken ragu...it was very good and loved the flavor. Definitely worth buying the pricey tomatoes. The next time I would cut down on the amount of pasta. 1/2 lb. would be about right. I also bought the carrots that were already shredded. It was even good reheated...a keeper!

    I didn't get to make the Ragu, but the Spinach Crostini was delicious. I made it to bring to someone's house but I didn't realize how much the ingredients shrink. So I turned it into a dip by adding sour cream and mayonnaise. I brought it to the party along with the Crostini and everyone loved it. So, now I have a new party dip! Next time I'd chop the mushrooms a bit smaller. This recipe was extremely flavorful.

    I made the Chicken Ragu and we thought it had great flavor! I'll make it again, but I'll be working to thicken the sauce. I had some garden tomatoes from my neighbor so I used those instead of canned. I can see what other's are saying about too much liquid. I squezzed out the seeds and juice and set it aside in case needed. It wasn't. I still had to try and reduce down the liquid. I also used dry rosemary since I didn't have fresh. It was easy and pretty quick to make.

    I made both dishes and wasn't very pleased with either of them. The taste of the chicken ragu was good with the combination of spices, but there was far too much chicken in my opinion. I didn't really like the chicken thighs, although I might have preferred it with chicken breast. Clean up was not fun. Too many dirty dishes to make this mediocre dish.
