Wacky Mac Veggie Pasta

This is one of our favorite lunch recipes. It's easy, quick, nutritious and delicious! You can customize it using your favorite ingredients, we hardly ever have the same version more than twice. Start with the foundation recipe and then add in whatever you have available! :)

Wacky Mac colored shapes are made from real, all-natural tomato, spinach and beet ingredients. They appear to be VEGAN and my toddler adores the purple wagon wheels.
