We loved this one! Definitely will be a favorite in rotation.

This is one of my favorites, and could also be used as a dip without the pasta! I added extra green chilies. And I didn’t drain the tomatoes, helped to keep it saucy.

Yes, drained. I just uploaded an edited PDF to specify drained in the ingredient list. Thanks Jodi :)

Do we drain the diced tomatoes before adding?

I'm not sure what the macros are for it. But you should be able to find a picture online of each box and compare the two. I'd imagine it won't be a huge difference.

I have Celiac disease. If I substitute for the Braille’s gluten free pasta, how much different would the calorie count be?

This one will be a go to for our family.

This is definitely a go-to. We doubled the spinach and added black beans. Figured out that doing the spinach in a separate pan makes it less watery after mixing it

My kiddo absolutely loves this one!

yes

Instead of putting all 6 in the freezer and taking one out each night could I put 1/2 in the freezer, 1/2 in the fridge? That way I have 3 nights already thawed and take the other 3 out a night before I’m out.

Was wary of the cottage cheese, but it was pretty good after being all blitzed in the food processor. I used 1.5 packets of taco seasoning though and sauteed zucchini and spinach and added it into the recipe. Came out great!

This was so good! Made it two weeks in a row!

What can I use in place of the cottage cheese? I just can’t eat cottage cheese. Besides not liking the taste, it wrecks havoc on my stomach

OMG! This was delicious!!

I meant melted butter in pan, then add a tablespoon of flour and cook it for 30sec to get the raw flour taste out (that’s for the roux, the other is for cornstarch slurry)

Hey guys! To keep your sauce from breaking, I’d make a roux, (flour and water, or cornstarch and water slurry) to pan with a little oil or butter , and gently heat that while whisking, then add the cheese sauce, this will make it emulsify or “mix” into the mixture without breaking!
