Pasta!
I love the sauce I make... I have a 'secret' ingredient... red wine vinegar. It gives it that extra kick.
I used whole wheat THIN spaghetti and Jess and the boys didn't bat an eye. Definitely prefer the thin over regular. I chopped up 2c of spinach and put my serving (1/2c noodles, 1/2c sauce) on top. YUM! Spinach is a great filler!!

(haven't figured out the nutritional breakdown yet...)
