The recipe was simple and quick. My wife and I enjoyed the meal, however, next time, I would use half of the recommended lemon. I love lemon but the flavor overpowered the other flavors in the dish. We both have agreed that this is a recipe to repeat.

I like it. It has a nice tang to it. I used garlic from a tube instead of fresh garlic, and diced tomatoes instead of whole. Yum.

Sooo good!! I skipped the oven part as it was nice and thick already. I used feta crumbles instead of the big chunks, which I think helped to thicken the sauce. It was pretty spicy, which I liked, and the hint of lemon with the garlic really set it off. I will definitely make this again!

I love this. Even better the second day for lunch! We leave out the marinara and double the chickpeas.

Turned out very well. A big hit here. My husband had it for breakfast the next day with an egg on top.

I added 1 cup chicken bouillon to make it a little less thick. I also added Italian seasoning to make it taste like an Italian vegetable soup. Yummy!

I don't like feta so I tried it with goat cheese and it was awesome! Ate it with a baguette on the side... easy, quick, super tasty!

The marinara was too much, and the feta cheese sorta ruined it for me. Next time i will reduce the marinara and omit the feta

I liked it, but I would make the recipe call for crushed tomatoes and not whole tomatoes (roughly crushed). I should have drained the tomato can as well, it was overwhelming with all of the marinara too.

This turned out great. Very tasty! I would suggest actually adding the spinach in before putting the dish in the oven. Also, I added a lot more chili flakes to give it some extra kick. Everyone was happy with this meal and it makes great leftovers. Yum!

I skipped the oven, because I didn't have a skillet that could be put in oven and was too lazy to transfer. Turned out great anyway!

I used half the amount of marinara, and used diced tomatoes instead of whole peeled tomatoes. went really light on lemon juice as well. it was good, even better on bread. but it was a little too acidic

I like to double the feta to make it a bit more substantial, and I just use diced tomatoes instead if whole tomatoes. This is definitely a weeknight staple!

we really liked this. mine was lemony in a good way. broke up whole tomatoes a little bit. served with bread as suggested.

The recipe turned out well, but there are ingredients in the directions that aren't listed under ingredients so that was frustrating. It was tasty though!

The flavor was spot on and did not find the dish acidic in the least. Made it as a side dish for a family of five and all enjoyed it immensely. I let the tomato mixture reduce a bit more than directed and it thickened up nicely before hitting the oven.
