      Very tasty! As is, I give the recipe a 4 out of 5. Next time I will saute the spinach with some garlic and onions and add the cottage cheese right before I take the mixture off the heat. I think that extra step recommended by other reviewers will give it that extra bit of depth and make the recipe 5 stars! Also, used just over a 1/2 cup of raw orzo and the crust was great!

      Wow did we ever love this recipe...I had no problem with it being watery...but I did let the spinach sit in a strainer after cooking and I only used a 15 oz. can of spaghetti sauce...it was perfect and a real hit. We are looking forward to the leftovers tonite!

      This was great! I tweaked it a little to my liking. I only did one cup raw orzo which was probably still a little too much. I sauteed some chopped onions, green peppers, and minced garlic and added it to the spinach...it was excellent! I will definitely use this recipe again! Yum!

      I loved this recipe. I used fresh spinach- sauteed it in garlic & a bit of olive oil first. I found the "crust" to be a bit bland. Next time I'm going to try 1/2c pesto in it instead of the spag. sauce. All the measurements worked out great! Thanks for a yummy recipe that's a lot quicker than lasagne! 11/09/06: Made it with the pesto and it ROCKED!

      Wonderful, delicious Italian dish! The orzo quantity is definitely wrong - using what was called for in the recipe made enough for two pies though, so I whipped up a second one and froze it for another week! I didn't have any trouble with the bottom being runny - everything was just right! I recommend adding sauteed vegetables to the spaghetti sauce if you want to squeez in a little extra nutrition - I used zucchini and mushrooms and it was fabulous! Will make again!

      This was GREAT!! It was so simple to make, too. I used all the orzo - it made for a very thick crust (see pics) and I squeezed out the spinach by hand after it was cooked to avoid a runny pie. I made the pie just as the recipe instructed but I just couldn't fit all of the sauce on. The foil is a VERY important step!! I kept it on the whole time but removed it the last 5 when I put the cheese on and it dried out a bit in that short time. I hate to think what would have happened if I had skipped that step. There was a bit of juice in the bottom of the pie when all was said and done. (I sopped it up with a paper towel after the first piece was cut.) I think next time I will simmer and reduce the sauce a bit to avoid this in the future. Everyone ate it up. Very tasty -even the next day and cold. I love orzo and will definitely make this again. Thanx for the keeper Nancy!! :o)

      This is good hot, cold and reheated! Only thing I noticed was the orzo quantity HAS to be wrong. MAYBE you need 1 1/2 cups of COOKED orzo. I had to throw away a lot of the orzo I cooked. I used Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti sauce (22782) as my sauce, and added a pinch of garlic powder to the spinach mixture. It's pretty to look at, too. I didn't even tell my boyfriend about it or to invite him to help himself, but he saw it in the fridge, ate some, and called me at work to tell me how very good this was. I can't wait to make it again with the adjusted orzo amount. A KEEPER!
