Excellent! Thanks for sharing! I had a hard time figuring out how much 1.5 cups of pasta is so I tried 250 grams and it seemed like too much so I added an extra egg. It came out great but I think I'll try less pasta next time. Also will try more spinach (I added butter and pepper to this after cooking) and possibly some pre-cooked chicken. Thanks again!

Awesome pasta dish, Caroline! That little bit of alfredo sauce sends this combo over the top. Picky 8 year old loved the parmesan pasta crust. Easy to put together and an attractive finished product. Thanks for posting!
