Topic: low fat yummy dessert

I have been searching for a recipe I made post op 11 years ago.  Basic ingredients were fat free cream cheese splenda and possibly cool whip.  It's the quantity of the ingredients that I can't recall.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far I like what I read, but I don't think you finished writing the recipe.  I assume there is cooking involved with this dish.

Spinach casserole with meatballs, marinara, and cheese

Use ground turkey, ground chicken, or 95% lean ground beef to make meat balls. 

You need one bag of fresh spinach. Chop spinach. Boil, drain

Place spinach on bowl or plate. 

Place meatballs on top of spinach.

Pour marinara on top of meatballs. 

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top (or whatever cheese you desire)

The boneless, skinless thighs will work but you will need to tamp them down alot so you will have enough chicken to roll the filling up into.

FYI, I made this recipe using the chicken breasts...SO delicious and moist!
