The other night I babysat all the Kristen’s cute girls, which meant that I had 6 kids under the age of 6.
We usually order pizza when we have everyone over, but I had all the stuff to make this dish, so I threw it together and decided to take a gamble as to if anyone would eat it.
Not only did they each devour it, but they asked for seconds! Such a simple dish, but it’s incredibly delicious.
If you have picky eaters, this is the perfect recipe.
What to serve with pasta?
I love pasta. If I could live anywhere in the world, it would probably be Italy, so I could eat homemade pasta day in and day out for the rest of my life.
Not only that, but they have some amazing bread and sweets there as well.
Here are a few of my favorite side dishes to pair with this pasta dish:
We also love to serve our bread and pasta with salad. Here are a few of our favorite salad recipes:
You could really pair it with any vegetable, but a nice fresh crisp salad with some Italian dressing has got to be my favorite combination with this pasta.
I also like to dip my bread in both the pasta sauce and the salad dressing. You can’t go wrong with salad, pasta, and bread.

I just made this for our dinner tonight.
WE LOVED IT!!!
I messed up tho….I bought diced tomatoes with green chilies in it. (I didn’t have my glasses on when I picked up the can…my bad) It was still amazing!
LOVE YOUR SITE! YOU MAKE ME A GREAT COOK!!!
Hi- can this be made ahead of time?
You could easily make it and then reheat. It does taste best right out of the oven.
Credit should be given to ALDI since this recipe was on their cream cheese package. Still delish though!
That is so funny. We have had this recipe forever and we don’t have Aldi grocery stores in Utah. But way to go Aldi! 🙂
How much spinach is used? Its mentioned in the directions but not in the ingrediens.
Thank you for catching that. It’s 9 ounces of baby spinach leaves.
