I wasn’t sure how to rate this because I did not make it quite as directed. I sprinkled a cup of cubed chicken with garlic powder and onion powder while cooking it so did not get the full flavoring effect. Mine tasted like spinach on noodles. If I make this again I will do the onion and garlic as directed. I will also add cream cheese to the mix to make it saucier.
I made it following the recipe, and it was OK. After tasting it, I did like a few others did and added some wine and salt to up the flavor. Served with kielbasa because I didn’t have any ham. It was a good recipe to use up all the extras in my fridge and freezer, but not one I will go to all the time. Next time I will add a little heat, maybe with crushed red pepper flakes. My spinach-loving fiance thought it was great.
My family LOVES this! It’s so easy to make!!! Also great for a summer evening with friends. mmmmh
My whole family loved it! I didn’t use the ham because my daughter is a vegetarian but everyone ate it up. Will definitely make again.
My boyfriend loves this dish so its always popping up on our diner menu. Taste absolutely delicious! We omit the ham as we aren’t big fans of it and use cream of mushroom instead of cream on celery. Its doesn’t overwhelm you with flavour (which my boyfriend appreciates) yet still tastes good (which I appreciate). Its quick & easy!
Loved this recipe as did my family! I changed a few things…I used fresh spinach 1/2 bag chopped then sautéed with chopped green onions instead of reg onion (in olive oil). I used 1 cup of the cheese instead of 1/2 cup. I also used water to thin it out a tad, I like the sauce to be a medium thick texture, and I used a little dill.
YUMMY!! SOOOO GOOD! I did a bit of altering though. Used a can of spinich (what I had) also instead of sour cream I used cream cheese. I also subbed cream of mushroom for cream of celery. I did not pour this over all my pasta, I had it on the side and let the family put the amount they wanted on the noodles. This is going into the recioes that we will be fixing more of. Awesome!!
Used pre-packaged, cubed ham that had been frozen, will try fresh next time. Lots of flavor!
I don’t understand the high ratings on this one. It doesn’t have much flavor despite the garlic. I had high hopes for this, but won’t make again.
Great, easy dish for a weeknight! I drained the spinach, and added lots of garlic, and feta instead of Parmesan, because that’s what I had. Even my 4yr old and 11mos old ate it!
I used fresh Spinach and cream of mushroom soup (that’s what I had) instead and no ham. Turned out really good! Cheap, easy and my 2 year old ate it! YAY!
I thought it was very good. I did change a few things though because I do not like cream of celery I used cream of mushroom. I also left out the ham and added mushrooms.
You could really taste the condensed soup, it wasn’t masked at all. Also thought it required a lot of garlic but you couldn’t taste it in the dish at all. 2/4 had seconds but I felt it was just an okay recipe and will not make it again.
Tasty, quick recipe for a weeknight! I used fresh chopped baby spinach (about half of a 10 oz bag), cream of mushroom soup, and plain yogurt instead of sour cream. The sauce definitely needs thinning – I just used water. I will make this one again for sure!
Very tasty and different. Made it as written this time but will use chicken on the next go around.
This is tasty! Very easy and has a really nice flavor. Maybe not dinner for company, but a good, quick weeknight dinner. My only changes were to use a cream soup mix I made instead of a can of soup, 1 package of spinach, and I left out the ham. I found it was very easy to just add the frozen square of spinach to the boiling water with the pasta. That way you don’t need to think ahead about thawing it out! I’m planning to mix some chopped marinated artichoke hearts in with the leftovers per another reviewer’s suggestion. One thing is I would advise against mixing all of the sauce into the big bowl of pasta. The flavor of the sauce gets diluted that way. It’s still good mind you, but the flavor is better if you just spoon some sauce on top.
YUM!!!
Loved this! I used 1lb whole wheat spaghetti, added 1/2c wine and kept the liquid from the defrosted spinach as many suggested to make the sauce go further. We still had to add 1/2c milk to thin the sauce down but it was so delicous. We didn’t change the recipe in any other way – it was so good!!!
I really didnt like this and I love spinach. to me it just tasted like spinach and pasta
Quick and yummy pasta! I used chicken sausage instead of ham and it came out pretty well. I also added some milk to thin the sauce.
My kids and I really liked the recipe. I made it exactly according to the directions. I think that next time I will use cream of mushroom soup instead of the celery. I didn’t feel it complemented the flavors. But this was a very good recipe.
