Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower
2 cups Spinach, rinsed and cut into fine ribbons
2 cups Pasta (eg. penne or spirals)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
Freshly ground pepper
1 tsp Herbamare (or similar veggie/salt seasoning)

Instructions

If your kids like macaroni and cheese, try this delicious and more nutritious version.

Chop a head of cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Add the cauliflower and your kids' favorite pasta to a large pot of boiling water. Cook until the noodles are tender, usually about 10 minutes (less if using fresh pasta). Remove from heat and stir in spinach. Drain and pour into a pasta bowl. Stir in two tablespoons of olive oil. Then add cheese and seasonings, and stir.

Toss and serve with a salad and steamed carrots.
