Never reviewed this but I just wanted to say that I make this one all the time. I just substitute 2 8oz packages of portebello mushrooms for the spinach. I slice and fry the mushrooms some to get the moisture out.

DH and I had this while watching the LOST series finale. Just like our favorite program, it did not disappoint! :) SO good! I subbed cottage cheese for the ricotta and it was great. The only thing not to like is the nutrition facts. Yikes. But still a great "splurge" dinner. Thanks!

I served this with homemade spaghetti and meatballs (#26947 and #32618) for my mother in law's birthday. It was very well received. I thought it was tasty and elegant and a very good "company" dish. I made it the day before and refrigerated it overnight, then baked for a little over an hour. Delicious!
