Introduction: Whole Grain Macaroni With Spinach and Parmesan Sauce

About: I'm Dani from Spain. I hope to learn a lot in this community.

This recipe is a weekly basic in my house. When I tell my daughter that she is going to eat green macaroni she can not stop smiling.

I recommend the recipe for those children who have problems eating vegetables. Its green color is vibrant and very appetizing and it tastes delicious. But do not think adults do not like this recipe. We love it!
