“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.

Fantastic! The garlic flavor was so awesome--not overpowering at all. We used fat-free milk and low-fat butter in the sauce and it still turned out perfectly rich and wonderful. We skipped the pasta and served with a slice of bread instead to finish sopping up that incredible sauce!

Loved how the spinach did not have to be pre-cooked before adding to this recipe! Surprisingly, four whole bulbs of garlic was not at all overpowering. Wonderful dish!
