Very good, even the husband liked it; loved the roasted garlic in this dish. As other reviewers stated there was not enough sauce; I added 1 cup of nonfat milk and extra spinach. Served over whole wheat linguine.

Yummy! Plenty for 5 servings. I mashed the garlic after roasting and I used less then recipe called for. I also used fresh spinach, so much easier then frozen I think. I had some fresh mushrooms on hand, so added some of those as well at the end with the spinach. Turned out great and quite simple.

Delicious! I used 10 cloves of garlic to 1/4 tsp kosher salt (half of recipe). I used fat free half and half with no detriment, and I used a box of fresh spinach vs the frozen. I wilted the spinach in the last minute of the shrimp saute.

This was delicious! I left out the broth and added a pinch of chicken boullion powder for flavor. I also mashed the garlic after roasting it. Served this over whole wheat pasta paired with steamed garlicky green beans. My son loved this...spinach and all!
