Instead of feeding Patience pasta, and have her say may i have more.
Of course we have used whole wheat. Another healthy alternative we use is spagetti squash. Alot lower in fat and she is eating her veggies. We purchase a spagetti squash cut in half and cook according to direction i think it is about 20 minutes in the oven. Then shred her chicken and add marnia sauce. Cheese is optional. Squash is just as good as noodles
This could be made without meat and use many of
your favorite veggies.
