This is a wonderful meal! I loved the spinach in the mac and cheese, we added bacon bits too! And the meatballs, we did a bit smaller, but they were fantastic! Great with the mac and cheese and for snacks too!

I am a Rachel fan, but this recipe was just off. If there was anything to enjoy, it was the meatballs, even though I would not make them again, the texture was odd. The mac and cheese was flavorless, I didn't use the required amount of spinach and it was still way too much. It was also very dry, I will try to salvage the leftovers by adding a prepared cream sauce to the macaroni.

I did not really like the idea of the ricotta in the chicken meatballs, so I added just a little, and the rest to the sauce instead - came out great!

Also, to the people that said the sauce was "blah" - I thought using enough nutmeg and salt made it just wonderful Creamy and delicious.

Great recipe!

I made this for dinner last night and none of us were able to eat it at all. Two boxes of spinach was way too much. When prepared on the TV show the pasta was very lightly flecked with spinach. Meatballs were also not pleasing at all. The whole meal had to be thrown out.

I agree with the other reviewers..the meatballs are fabulous(I used 1/2 cottage cheese b/c I did not have ricotta. The pasta is good too but perhaps 1 box of spinach would be enough. One thing I will say, as with all of her recipes..this is much more time consuming than 30 minutes. It is more like 45 minutes if you include defrosting the spinach and squeezing it out as well as hand rolling all of the meatballs, even if you work at a fast pace. I will say it was quite an enjoyable meal and very comforting.

I only made the pasta dish and it was incredible! I sauted 1/4 onion and 2 cloves garlic with the butter prior to adding the flour and used 16 oz of spinach. This instantly became a favorite! Thanks Rachel!

The meatballs are delightfully different from any other meatball recipe I have tried. Loved it! Next time I may omit the ricotta cheese. I'm just not sure it was really necessary.
