This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was too thin and the rice was undercooked.

This is my go-to recipe for spanakorizo. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the creamy, cheesy sauce and the tender rice and spinach. I usually add a little bit of chopped red pepper for a pop of color.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste and the rice was a little mushy.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover rice and spinach, and it's also a very affordable meal. I usually add a little bit of feta cheese to the sauce for extra flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast. I also like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts for a little extra flavor.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste and the rice was a little mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of rice, like basmati or jasmine.
