This is really good (and healthy)!

[ Edited ]

 

DH and I really like this recipe.  The only change I make is that I use 8 oz. of shell macaroni instead of the box of Dreamfields pasta.  We serve it with Parmesan cheese on top.

 

We are having it tonight.  It makes about 3 large servings.

 

Hope you love it like we do.

I'd make a couple of adjustments (gluten free pasta and grass fed beef), but the overall recipe sounds good.  I'll have to try it one day soon.

You can either use a 10 oz. package of fresh baby spinach leaves (in the produce section)  or a 10 oz package of frozen spinach in the freezer section.  The last couple times I bought it, I bought the 10 oz. package (froze) that comes in one of those steam bags.  I don't thaw it out or anything.  I add the spinach to the cooked sauce and cook it until desired doneness and then add the cooked pasta and stir.

 

Either way, you don't have to shred the spinach.  Just dump it in.

 

The frozen is cheaper than the fresh.  Both taste equally good.
