The Dish I took to pass:
INSIDE OUT RAVIOLI
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped (approximately 1/2 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach
1 (15 1/2 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
1 (7 oz.) pkg. shell macaroni, cooked al dente
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded (approximately 4 oz.)
1/2 c. bread crumbs
2 eggs, well-beaten
1/4 c. oil
In large skillet brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain well, reserving 1 cup liquid. Stir spinach liquid, spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt and pepper into meat mixture. Simmer over low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl combine spinach, macaroni, cheese, bread crumbs, eggs and oil. Spread in 9x13 inch pan. Top with meat sauce. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve with salad Garlic bread and a dessert like Rachel Ray’s Quick Tiramisu
Note: I omitted the egg as I put it in the crock to heat it up instead of in the oven. I also added water chestnuts and mottz cheese on top.
Thank you all for a lovely day!!

What a perfect way to spend a chilly winter afternoon! Wish I had been able to be there. Can't wait to try the recipe too. Thanks for posting it!
I'm so envious of your spinning day! Great room to hold it in and love the swap idea. And I LOVE the malabrigo velvet grape, I have been eyeballing that for a few weeks :)
I'm going to try your recipe this week. Thanks!
Those stitch markers are beautiful!! Love that yarn too!
