  1. Really good for meal prepping dinners for the week. Although the serving size says four I\’d say it could stretch to eight! Had to bake for upwards of thirty minutes to thicken the sauce and soften the red pepper. Otherwise, great recipe and I will be using it again.

  2. I made this and am eating it now. It\’s really creamy and flavorful. I doubled the recipe and improvised some. I added 2 cups more of spinach (wanted to use what I had) and used extra cilantro and added green onions to the sauce (more greens I had and didn\’t want to waste). My store-bought breadcrumbs didn\’t brown very noticeably so I cooked one pan for 15 minutes and the other for 25 which worked for me.

    And of course it tasted amazing! My roommates were all impressed. Thanks for the recipe.
