This recipe was FABULOUS! My VERY skeptical husband took one look at the fact that it was lacking ricotta type cheese (which I HATE and is why I chose this type of recipe!) and thought this was going to be awful. Boy did he eat his words (literally!) and LOVED every stinking bite of this. The flavors are incredible. It almost tastes like a super rich tomatoe sauce but it's actually just the mixture of the pesto and the tomatoes blending beautifully together. It's truly unbelievable! I can't thank you enough for this one. It makes a ton and isn't ever finished by my 4 person family but the leftovers are great too! This is a 10 star recipe!

Made this just as the recipe stated except added about 1/2 cup of red marinara sauce. Absolutely delicious - even the picky eaters in my family loved it!

This recipe knocked my socks off. I brought this to a Christmas party last night and it was enjoyed by all. I have to admit that I used Italian hot pork sausage and used a 10 oz box of frozen leaf spinach which I defrosted and squeezed out all the excess water. The pesto is a must as it gives the dish a great flavor. I will definitely be making this again and the next time will try it with the fresh spinach.
