Simple and delicious, this ticked all the boxes, quick and tasty and stuff that I had in the pantry and fridge :) Thanks, very good, made for Culinary Quest 2019, FeedBags, Italy -
Yum! I made this recipe in no time and it was really tasty. I didn't bother blanching the spinach first, I just put it in the strainer and poured the macaroni on top of it. I also skipped the oil in the water because I just don't use it when boiling pasta. I used freshly grated Parmesan cheese but any kind of cheese would work. Made for CQ19. Thanks HokiesMom!

I loved meeting so many wonderful people from across the globe in what were truly amazing forums and during events on the site which encouraged interaction. I miss those forums and am saddened that this is now just another recipe collection site. I will always come back here as I have so many recipes saved of my own and tried many gems. I hope you are able to find something you like.</p>
