This is the best spinach casserole I've ever had! It's so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It turned out just as good.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
