This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the ricotta filling was runny. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The pasta was a little bland for my taste, but the spinach and ricotta filling was very flavorful. I think I would add some more spices to the pasta next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the ricotta filling.

This spinach and ricotta baked pasta was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
