I added 3 cloves of garlic sliced and sauteed it with the spinach

We loved it. Turned out we didn't have spinach but used onion. It was a big hit, even for people who don't usually care for tomatoes! LOVED IT!

Wonderful recipe. When I see so many reviews on a recipe but am unsure of it I am still willing to try it. This was so good. I am thinking of replacing normal spaghetti and putting this in its place. My 3 year old son did not care for it but no biggie. This was great!!!!

This is so good. I made it with a one pint container of cherry tomatoes and a 10 ounce bag of spinach. I did add a little of the pasta water to moisten the sauce since I drained the pasta too much.

Easy to make, great tasting.....just made for the first time last week, and my husband has suggested that we make it again.

Quite good and oh so easy and quick. Didn't have any fresh spinach, but did have frozen. Thawed and squeezed water out and it was good!

I have made this a couple of times and love it! I did make a couple of changes. I used A Taste of Thai vermicelli noodles (gluten free) instead of regular. I also made a vinagraitte using white balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a dried Italian herb mixture. I have made this with cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes I cut up. I liked it both ways.. cutting regular size tomatoes takes less time than cutting the cherry tomatoes.

I really like this dish. Simple ingredients, easy & quick to assemble. And different from your everyday fare. It only loses 1 star because I could not entice any of my kids to eat it. They are not spinach fans, but I loved it and mama does the cooking around here!
