Fat-free cream cheese and reduced-fat cheddar make this creamy casserole lower in fat and calories. It's a good way to get our kids to eat spinach in "disguise". —Carol Lepak of Sheboygan, Wisconsin

I did not like this recipe at all. I don't think the cream cheese or spinach should be added at all. The flavor combinations were terrible.

I love this recipe! I do make some changes when I make this. I use 99% fat free turkey instead of beef and low-fat cream cheese instead of fat free. It is delicious and doesn't taste low fat. I highly recommend it!

This is delicious! I used 98% fat free turkey (lower fat than beef) and low-fat cream cheese (more taste than fat-free). My husband and I loved it. I will definitely be making this again. I may also try wheat pasta next time.

My family loved this recipe. I didn't use the low fat or fat free choices but it turned out great! Even my picky three and four year olds liked it!

It was o.k. and very filling but not one of our favs. I wouldn't make it again, but it was nice to try something different.

My family really liked this recipe. The only change I made was using red onion on top instead of green just because I didn't have any. Easy to make too.

This was very good. I made it with rice penne pasta (avoiding wheat). The cream cheese and milk get real frothy when whipped so it adds a nice texture to the cheesey spinach middle.
