It was very good, a little different than what we're used to, but I thought it had plenty of flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used plain canned tomatoes and added my own basil garlic and oregano.

This is my new favorite can't miss recipe. It is so comforting and everyone just loves it. It doubles and even tripes easily, enabling you to feed a big crowd with one pot. I love the addition of spinach for vitamins and fiber and I, also, added more than was called for (about twice as much). I used half of the canned tomatoes called for and used canned fire roasted tomatoes for the other half, which lent a deep sweetness to the dish. I also went much lighter on the tomato paste, using two tablespoons instead of the whole can. This one is a treasure!

We found this to be a nice dish but a little on the bland side. Next time, some red pepper flakes will find their way into the pan. Or even better, some Italian sausage. (Of course, that adds fat, but it would be tasty!)

This recipe was wonderful! I added some brown sugar (as my children like their tomato dishes on the sweet side). Everyone asked for seconds and my oldest son found out he is a fan of spinach and mom did too! I will be making this one again and again.

My family loved it! I wasn't sure how the spinach would go over, but after further review, we wouldn't change a thing! I made it with one can tomato sauce and one can diced tomatoes.
