Green Mac N Cheese

I love sneaking veggies into my kids foods, and this is one of my (read: their) favorite recipes! I took a recipe from Jessica Seinfeld's book "Deceptively Delicious" and altered it to meet my families needs and desires. It tastes great, but if you have one who has a problem with textures, leave out the chick peas, they make it a little gritty. Oh, and just a suggestion, if your kids won't eat anything green, add more carrots and butternut squash in place of the spinach, the color will blend better.
