Creamy Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups with Tuna
ByThe Wholesome Spoon October 22, 2026October 22, 2026

Chill air makes me want to bake all the comfort food. I just love getting festive, especially in the kitchen! When I’m wanting something cozy and comforting for the family, I’m usually looking for an indulgent pasta dish to make! These Creamy Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups with Tuna were completely unexpected, in the best way! The ricotta, garlic, and spinach filling with that little bit of lemon juice – oh, it was so good. The tuna blends right into the filling, adding protein and richness without overpowering those classic lasagna flavors. With that deep tomato, Italian-seasoning spiced sauce drizzled over the roll ups – it was phenomenal. Budget friendly and perfect for a warm family dinner!

Creamy Lemon Cod Pasta Bake
ByThe Wholesome Spoon October 1, 2026October 26, 2026

Every once in a while, I get the biggest craving for fish! And I don’t mean the usual, fish fry or grilled salmon – I mean something seafood forward but just feels a little different. This Creamy Lemon Cod Pasta Bake was loaded with big juicy pieces of cod, tender veggies like broccoli, corn, peas, and carrots, cavatappi pasta, and a creamy lemon sauce! It was comforting and cozy, but also light and bright. It was the type of dish that makes you feel warm and satisfied but doesn’t feel too heavy once you’ve devoured your bowl. My boys loved this, and it felt like something we hadn’t had before!

Jalapeño Shrimp Alfredo
ByThe Wholesome Spoon August 10, 2026August 10, 2026

I’m such an alfredo girl. I absolutely love it – I am literally always craving it! It’s so easy to make at home too, you just need a couple ingredients! This Jalapeño Shrimp Alfredo gives those classic shrimp alfredo vibes, but with a spicy twist. Piled high with thinly sliced jalapeños, it gives a fresh crunch – with the perfect amount of spice. You can choose between very spicy, somewhere in the middle, and pretty mild by simply removing more or less of the seeds and pith. This recipe is perfect for all those fresh jalapeños you’ve got in the garden too! It’s unique and it’s still family friendly!

Light and summery but still comforting!
