This might be my favorite and fastest weeknight dinner ever! Pasta and sauce cook all together a la hamburger helper method and is ready in a snap. As long as you're using mild rotel, this is a really good kid-friendly meal as well. These portions are quite large and the carbs are a little high for a meal for my macros BUT so is that protein! I've definitely had half a serving for a meal or snack, but absolutely am all for eating the full portion.
