I tried another new dinner last night and as expected, it was a hit! This has most definitely made it on the dinner rotation!! I do watch how much pasta I eat so this is probably an every other week kind of meal. For my personal serving, I loaded on the chicken, tomatoes, and spinach. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
