This one is definitely a family favorite. The kids absolutely love it. You can sneak the spinach right on in and the taste practically goes unnoticed! The sharp cheddar gives this dish a power punch, while the cream cheese offers creaminess, and oh the mozzarella provides that ooey-gooey  goodness it's impossible to say no to.

This dish is perfect for those nights the kids have after school activities and you just don't have the time. Tonight's one of those nights for me. The boys have Cross Country.

Cook your pasta as directed. Warm the sauce in a skillet and add the spice blend.

 Once the sauce is warmed. You'll add your spinach and cream cheese. De-li-cious!
Drain your pasta and pour it into a baking dish.
Pour half of the sauce mixture over the noodles and coat pasta evenly.
Pour remaining sauce on top and cover with a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar.
Toss it in the oven until cheese melted.


Here's What You'll Need:
