Very bland and the beans were hard, I followed the recipe to a T. Not sure I would make again.

This is basically an alfredo sauce with lots of spinach...I loved it! Because of the last poster's comments, I increased the Italian seasoning and garlic, and I made sure my canned beans were soft enough before I added them to the sauce. I added a little bit of fresh-grated parmesan to the top, and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
