I made this last night with rigatoni noodles, it was fantastic!! I added a bit of garlic and onion powder for a bit for flavour as well. It even got a picky man's approval wink

i just made this tonight and I added 3 chicken sausage links (kind of like a brat) I bought at sams club and added garlic salt crushed red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of pizza sauce. It was awesome!!! I did the math and with my additions, it equaled out to 5 servings, 331 calories a serving.

what kind of multi-grain pasta do you use? Every time I try to serve my family anything but white pasta, it gets rejected!

I've made this a couple of times. Very delicious.

I have to make it on nights my husband isn't home because he won't eat spinach.
