Original recipe came from www.skinnytaste.com, Low Fat Baked Ziti With Spinach. I modified it to be quicker and easier, added shredded chicken for more protein, and used noodles I had on hand instead of Ziti noodles. Everyone loved it and 2 of the kids had seconds, so I guess I didn't screw it up! Yay! I love being able to get good nutrients into them, and they didn't even know it had spinach in it until they were into their 2nd helping and I told them how healthy it was!
