I love macaroni and cheese but I am not supposed to have a whole lot of pasta, so when I do, I always go for the Dreamfield’s pasta. You go for your favorite elbow pasta as I am going the traditional route today except for one thing!

I was in the mood for something cheesy yet a little healthy, this is healthy right? Hey if it’s not, I don’t want to know ok? I have to do what I have to do to get spinach into an 11yr old girl without pulling the stunts I did when I was little. We won’t go into that. Anyway yes, this is a daughter approved recipe! Noodles, ricotta cheese, spinach and a marinara sauce ..it’s vegetarian night here the easy way. I got 15 rolls out of this which made enough for 5 people.
