Ahhh, creamy pasta dishes. Not something you’d think would be included in a healthy eating plan. You’ll never guess that this dish clocks in at only 8 grams of fat per serving. This simple casserole will please the whole family, and you may even get your kids eating spinach and liking it!

1 tsp dried oregano
