Excellent and easy. I (more or less) halved the recipe for the two of us and had it as a vegetarian one-dish meal. My BF wanted seconds so I helped him finish it up:) Too bad there were no leftovers to take to work the next day. I used a pint of grape tomatoes (left the really small ones whole), a 6 ounce bag of spinach, one garlic clove and only 1 teaspoon olive oil. I had planned on cutting back on the cheese, but ended up adding most of it.

This recipe was amazing, especially when I realized how little effort I had to put into making it taste great! I used garlic powder instead of cloves since we have loads of it on hand, and the flavor was still excellent. Will definitely be making this again! I would like to try it cold sometime as well if I ever get any leftovers! Thanks for passing this recipe along.
