So because it's what I do I changed a few things.  I used whole wheat pasta instead.  If you haven't tried whole wheat past you should, there is something about the texture and the taste is amazing!  I didn't use creamed spinach either I used normal and added about a half cup of skim milk.  I also added a couple tablespoons of garlic powder.  Oh yeah and I am a firm believer in the fact that you can never have too much cheese so I of course added more mozzarella.  Oh my goodness it turned out amazing and it was a HUGE hit in my house!  This is definitely on the keeper list of my go-to dishes!
