"This is easy one-bowl mixing and no cheese sauce to premake, this can all be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake, Not a fan of spinach? no problem you can omit, this is very versatile you can add in cooked leftover chicken, turkey or cooked diced bacon, for some crunch add in some chopped water chestnuts or diced celery, the possibilities are endless! This is a killer recipe!... Waist-watchers If your watching your fat intake I suggest to pass this one by. Prep time does not include cooking the pasta or spinach. Photo shown before baking."

This worked out well for us -- very cheesy and good. We did use the whole package of spinach and also whole wheat pasta. Thanks for sharing!
