The best part about it is that it is all so flavorful that my kids don’t even notice that they are eating a nutrient dense meal. it is my goal to fuel our bodies with ingredients that will benefit our bodies and not hurt the body.
With being a stay-at-home mom, I really do not have time to do much research on ingredients.

Storing & reheating tips
Store any leftover cheesy spinach beef pasta in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. To reheat simply do so in a microwave safe dish with a splash of broth. You can also reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth.
Can I freeze this pasta?
I would not survive if I could not freeze my meals. Normally if I am making something my family loves I double the batch and put some in the freezer for the following week so that is one night I do not have to cook!
So, I will follow the directions listed above, I will pour it into a glass plan, let it cool down, place saran wrap over the meal, then a layer of aluminum foil. I will make sure it is sealed nice and tight and store it in the freezer up to 6 months!
Before cooking the pasta, I would put a half cup of broth in there to help add some moisture back into the meal!
