Spinach Mac and Cheese

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

There’s nothing like a rich and creamy Mac and cheese dish.... especially if there are some veggies hidden inside!! My SPINACH MAC AND CHEESE takes your dinner to a whole new level. Made with browned butter and THREE cheese. Ahh!! Enjoy comfort food with lower points and added veggies. Rich, creamy, and great for the whole family. Yum!

How many WW points is this now?! Click on the link below and it will take you to the recipe I made within your own WW app. Your specific points will be calculated, and you can track that.


I like to brown my margarine, as much as margarine can brown, because it gives a really good taste to the mac and cheese sauce

I also use three different cheeses in this recipe, but the parmesan is not necessary. I make it without that cheese all the time. While the parmesan brings a little nice flavor to the dish, it tastes amazing without it too. The other two cheeses are necessary.

Add chicken, ground beef or sausage to bring in some protein!
