FUSILLI WITH SPINACH AND ASIAGO CHEESE
Another GREAT side from Giada. The kids and I even eat this as a main dish when my husband is out of town. My VERY picky 2 and 4 year old devour this. Super easy, super healthy! I usually double the amount of tomatoes and the amount of spinach since it's seems like too much pasta and not enough veggies when made as stated. Wonderful!

MINI FUSILLI WITH CREAMY CHICKEN AND SPINACH
From the back panel of Barilla Piccolini MINI Fusilli. Recipe calls for fresh chicken breast but I cut up leftover cooked chicken from last night's meal. Very creamy and so easy to prepare.
