I used half milk half cream but the rest to exact. With spinach and SDTs – Loved it! And plenty for lunch or dinner the next few days!

I loved this delicious, more-ish pasta!! It tasted even MORE incredible the next day – which I didn’t think possible when I first ate it. We added the optional sundried tomatoes and spinach and it was stellar.

This is one of my favorite go-tos when I am looking for something to meal prep that I don’t want to put a ton of time into. Sometimes I will dissect a Walmart rotisserie chicken and use it later in the recipe if I am feeling especially lazy. Thanks for this one!

I’ve made this recipe several times now and loved it every time. A few things I’ve settled into doing are:

1. Using rotini instead of penne. I find the noodles really hold onto the sauce that way. I don’t have to change the timing or anything!
2. Loading it up with spinach — I probably do four or five cups, and I chop it so that it’s easier to eat.
3. Adding the sun dried tomatoes. Seriously, it makes a HUGE difference and upgrades this dish from good to GREAT. I buy them halved and jarred in oil and use about 3-4 halves. The rest I freeze so I have them for months afterward.

I’ll probably keep making this until I die. It’s stupid easy and stupid delicious.

This was good and easy to put together; it took a little time to gather the ingredients. So I wouldn’t call it a quick meal with that in mind. But it did cook up fairly quickly once I had everything in place. I did add both optional ingredients – spinach and sundried tomatoes to try and make me feel a little better about the calorie content.

Delicious! I just happened to have all the suggested ingredients on hand. I believe I added too much pasta so I had to increase the liquid. I had enough leftovers for several lunches. I added a splash of milk to make it creamy again. It’s definitely in my rotation of go to recipes.

I made this wonderful meal a few nights ago and it was a total hit! I used the spinach and dried tomatoes. I also added some onions and Tuscan seasoning. It was AMAZING, Easy and so worth the little time it took to prepare. This will be a regular on my household menu :)

In reply to Mel.

With a library of over 1500 recipes and grocery prices that fluctuate on a daily basis, unfortunately it’s impossible to keep the prices on all recipes current. We would pretty much have to have one person dedicated to constantly update the blog post, and that’s just not feasible for us right now. We find that while the prices may no longer be the same, it can still be helpful to see the prices and how one ingredient can impact the overall cost more than another. We encourage everyone to try doing their own price breakdown at least once because it can be so insightful and you can see our tutorial on how we do it here. :) https://www.budgetbytes.com/how-to-calculate-recipe-costs/
