“Roasted garlic lends a rich flavor to this appetizing entree, and it complements the spinach nicely. Ideal for entertaining, the recipe can be assembled in advance and popped in the oven when guests arrive.”—Joanna Johnson, Flower Mound, Texas

Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

This was an excellent recipe! I made it for dinner when my father-in-law was coming and he's not huge on garlic, so I only used about 2 1/2 bulbs of the garlic and thought that it was perfect!! Our 6 and 2 yr olds loved it!!

I made this dish for the first time tonight. Although it tasted great, it came out very soupy and the spinach seemed overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, cooked it at 350 since I wasn't sure about the temp. Can anybody offer any suggestions? I'd really like to try it again.
