I had some sole in the freezer that I wanted to use up and so I gave this recipe a try, and I'm so glad I did! It was hearty and just perfect for a weeknight dinner. I made it just as directed and I wouldn't change a thing.

This dish turned out beautifully! The balance of tastes and textures was nicely done. I particularly liked that there wasn't a lot of pasta-just the right amount. I did not have sole, so I used tilapia and it was delicious(and less expensive). After reading the recipe and the other reviews, I did add some extra seasoning. I used lemon-pepper which went very well with both the spinach and the fish. I will admit that I added mushrooms because we love them and I had them on hand. All that being said, my hubby inhaled this! His idea of high praise for a dish is, "it's okay". He said this was "really good" and that I should definitely make it again. I definitely will! He also liked that he could taste all the different flavors of the ingredients and it wasn't just a mish-mash. Nice job on this one! Thanks!

I was leery of this at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! I followed the suggestions of other members- I only had frozen spinach, so I boiled, drained, and added it to the onions in the pan to dry out a bit too. I didn't have Steak Seasoning, so I put a dash of Cajun Seasoning with the salt and pepper layers. I used Pangasius (a type of catfish). It tasted so wonderful I ate 1 1/2 servings! I think I added a bit more cheese too, but I love cheese.... :)

Every bit was gone! Wasn't too sure about this one but it turned out delish. Used penne and extra cheddar, also salt and peppered each layer. A Keeper... Thanks

Another amazing recipe from Derf. I couldn't find sole at the grocery store, substituted flounder, and it was excellent. I also used reduced-fat cheddar and was happy with that ingredient change. Based on other reviews, I added a sprinkling of reduced-sodium Montreal Steak Seasoning in addition to the salt/pepper and was very pleased with the results. Very quick recipe to prepare on a week night, yet it has a very pretty presentation. This recipe would be very easy to scale down for 1-2 people. Thanks for a winner!
