      Just saw Giadia make this on Food Network and had to try it. Really delicious. And easy, too! I didn't use whole wheat pasta as I don't like it. I used plain ole semolina penne. Loved the goat cheese. I used Neufchatel (sp??) as my market didn't have reduced fat cream cheese. This sub was close enough. Loved the flavors and will make this again and again. I think I'll add a little nutmeg next time as I like how that goes with spinach. Thanks, Kerry, for posting the recipe.

      Love this pasta! The whole wheat pasta added a bit of a nutty flavor that worked well with the spinach sauce. So easy to make and so very good. Thank you KerryC3 for posting. Made and reviewed for the Special Ingredient Tag Game.

      This recipe is great. But reheated, it didn't work for me. Freshly made that's yummy. I used regular penne. Thanks Kerry. Made for cookbook tag game

      I am not going to leave a rating with this review since I used frozen spinach and I did not like the texture/taste of it in this recipe, since the dish is not baked after assembling. The garlic flavor was also very strong and sharp. I also have never tried whole wheat penne before, and I am not sure it was to my liking. I might try it again with regular penne and the fresh spinach when I can find it. Thanks for posting!

      What a great flavor! I altered the recipe a bit using frozen spinach instead of fresh. I also added quartered cherry tomatoes and cubed chicken. Reminds us of something we ate in Italy!

      Okay...I will admit that I cheated. I didn't have spinach leaves, but I did have brocolli, so I used that instead....and I can't wait until I try this with spinach. If it is any better than this, I don't know if we will be able to stand it!!!!
