Recipe was great, I added a little fresh Parm to the sauce and the spinach then reduced the cream cheese and it tasted great and was a bit lighter.

My husband and 1.5 yr old loved it. I thought the cream cheese was too heavy. Maybe try cutting back to 4-6 oz instead.

Easy to make, and a hit with my 1 year old. My husband would have preferred it without the sauce on top. I, however, loved the sauce.
