Craving comfort food that’s quick, easy, and packed with greens? This 15-minute White Cheddar Spinach Mac & Cheese is your answer! It requires just a handful of ingredients for a bowl of creamy goodness that’s sure to satisfy.

Ingredients:
* 8 ounces of macaroni or pasta shells, cooked according to package instructions
* 2 tablespoons of butter
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 cup of heavy cream
* 2 cups of shredded white cheddar cheese
* 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves, chopped
* Optional: breadcrumbs for topping
Instructions:
1. In a large pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine with the butter and garlic.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Gradually add the shredded white cheddar cheese to the cream sauce, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Add the cooked pasta shells to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the cheesy sauce.
6. Fold in the chopped spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt slightly in the hot pasta and sauce mixture.
7. Once the spinach is wilted and the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce, remove the pan from heat.
