I didn't have penne noodles so I used rotini noodles. This dish was a huge hit! Even my 9 year old who "isn't a spinach guy" loved this dish.

This recipe is a winner. It was quick, easy and left very little mess. I added garlic powder, pepper, italian seasoning and a bay leaf. I also added some chicken that I had cooked in a seperate pan that was also seasoned with garlic powder, italian seasoning and pepper. I didn't have mozzarella cheese so I used a cup of parmesan cheese instead and it was very tasty. I will make this recipe again for sure.

Very YUMMY! What a great way to incorporate spinach into our diets. I cooked about 3 slices of bacon (will use a little more next time)in the bottom of a pot until crispy. Drained the grease and then cooked an onion chopped very small and then added the rest of the ingredients. I only had regular spinach at the time so I just removed the larger stems. The tomatoes I used already had garlic added otherwise I would have added a clove with the onion. I crumbled the bacon back into the mixture at the end. I will make this again often!

I have made this recipe twice so far and my family loves it. I have added dried chives, parsley, basil, onion and garlic to the recipe and it's fantastic. And so easy to make !! Thanks Kraft.
