My 7 year old ate 3 helpings! I think if I made it again I would add the egg and paremesan as suggested by another reviewer. I liked it but didn't reach the category of "love"! A solid 4 stars!

This recipe is fantastic! It turned out perfectly and I will definitely use it again.

Ok. Hubby really liked it, but I wasn't too big a fan. I felt like it was missing something. I think it would be absolutely fantastic with the addition of cream cheese to the cottage cheese/spinach part (I combined the two to make it spreadable along with an egg). I like a richer sauce and I think that that would taste amazing. I don't think the chicken is necessary and I will omit the chicken and the chicken broth next time. Thanks for sharing. It's a great base to start with.

Very tasty! I used 4 cloves of garlic and decreased the milk to only 1 cup and used "oven ready noodles." Put it together one day, then cooked it the next. With all of my changes, it turned out wonderful!

our family loved this recipe. we tried to stay toward the fat free side of ingredients. we can be pretty hearty eaters but were able to get way more than 6 servings out of this recipe; something for those looking at nutrition facts. we also substituted french cut green beans for lack of the spinach. Thanx for the recipe Cheryl!
