adult mac n cheese

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was snowy and bright!

I really cannot remember if I have shared this recipe. We have been making it for a few years now. It is so simple, healthy and delicious. The original inspiration came from The New York Times! The link confirms we have been making this since 2008! I remember when I first saw this recipe online.

1 box whole wheat shells

1 jar tomato sauce (or homemade)

1 package goat cheese

1 package meatballs, cooked accordingly (optional)

1c whole wheat bread crumbs

1/2c grated parmesan

Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta according to instructions until al dente, drain and set aside. Heat tomato sauce in a saucepan until warm, mix in goat cheese until blended. Combine pasta and sauce until mixed. Add meatballs if desired and stir until combined. Put in greased casserole dish. Combine breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Spread evenly over top of pasta mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
