 Anne (Mexico) says:
My personal notes: more cheese, less water, less spinach, more basil.
I like that this recipe is healthier, but what's the point if it doesn't taste as good? Next time, I'll cut down on the spinach and add some basil from the original recipe. It also turned out watery when I made it, but that might have just been me screwing up somewhere. I loved the idea of adding peas to the pasta though. I'm going to do that each time I make pasta now.
