Here’s Katie’s creative way to give this comfort food-favorite a little makeover, making it both easier and healthier. It’s made with convenience foods such as packaged shredded cheese and store-bought marinara (Vero Gusto Heritage Marinara is Katie’s new fave) and pairs so well with your favorite pasta or spiralized veggies tossed with extra sauce and sprinkled with some Parmesan.
