  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/07/2012   This was delicious. From reading other reviews, I agree that the flavor was lacking a bit, so added in some italian seasoning, lemon pepper and nutmeg (as suggested) made the dish perfect. I also added the italian seasoning and a touch of nutmeg to the ricotta to make even more flavorful.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/20/2011   This is one of my favorite dishes ever. It's totally delicious and easy to make. The only problem is that I keep going back for more. And more. And more.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/11/2011   So easy and delicious! Prepared just as directed. Very finicky fiancee loved it.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/10/2010   I found a good source for pine nuts there are American ORGANIC grown they are superb in-shell raw or shelled raw there web sight is www.wholesalepinenuts.com a simple comment to let you know you don?  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/25/2010   liked this recipe as is, but made it for the second time tonight with a couple changes... sauteed zucchini and spinach. it was tasty and i will try it again, maybe with different veggies.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/20/2010   Why not try not drowning everything in garlic. There are other herbs and spices.Sounds like the same group with the mashed potatoes that are nothing but garlic. Yuck!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/15/2010   Changed the ricotta to 1/2 cup of goat chesee and added a touch of garlic. Pretty good!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/04/2010   I agree with turtlegrins. This had the potential to be bland, so I sauteed the spinach in some olive oil and garlic. Then I took a couple cubes of pesto out of the freezer and tossed them into the cooked pasta. It made all the difference in the world.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/22/2009   I made this dish this last week and loved it. However, I did change it up a bit. I added smashed garlic cloves to the pasta water. I, also, grated about 1/2 tsp of fresh nutmeg into the drained pasta. Quite yummy and will makes it again with these changes.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/17/2009   I realize it changes it into a different meal entirely, but before returning the pasta and spinach to the pot, try simmering 2 T pesto until fragrant. Then add the pasta, spinach  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/14/2009   I made this dish tonight. It looked great and I had high expectations. Unfortunately, it fell short. It was extremely bland. I actually added garlic. I boiled some in the water with the pasta and I also toasted some with the pine nuts. That didn't do enough to make this dish worth making again. Sorry Martha, you got a thumbs up for appearance but a thumbs down for taste on this one.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/11/2009   I also made it today with multi-grain pasta and added a few pressed garlic cloves for added flavor. Light and nutty!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/10/2009   easy and YUMMY esp. with a whole wheet pasta :)  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/10/2009   It looks wonderful! Plan on making it tonight, I have to watch my weight, Is there anywhere to look for the calories per serving? Thank You!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/10/2009   This is also good with a couple of tablespoons of pesto mixed in. I found the dish bland without it.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/10/2009   I a m going to make this tonight. However, I am going to poach some chicken and add the ricotta into the pot.,...so it doesn't get cold.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/06/2008   I make this with whole wheat pasta. I really like it but you have to get it on the table fast because the ricotta cools the dish down quickly.
