Recipe of the month: baked penne marinara

09/05/2019

Feed More’s Community Kitchen staff and volunteers prepare a variety of meals each week that are delicious and rich in nutrients and healthy, local ingredients. We’re excited to share some of our favorite recipes that our recipients enjoy through programs like Meals on Wheels, Summer Food Service Program and the Kids Cafe!

The fall season is almost here, so in celebration of the [hopefully] cooler temperatures heading our way, we’ve pulled together a delicious baked penne marinara dish to share. This meal is packed with yummy and gooey cheese with veggie and tomato sauce- a combination that can’t be beat!
