Sneaky 'sketti
"A good way to sneak in veggies. You process them down really small so they can't say "eew!" I use multi-grain pasta (Barilla Plus is good), and if your kid doesn't like green in their food, you can sub wax beans and carrots for the green beans and spinach. You can increase the amounts of vegetables as needed, but that might be too risky... I even liked it, and my husband said, "Damn, I'd eat this, too!!""
