Vegetable Rotini

My daughter and I both love pasta; any kind will do. This recipe gives a healthy kick to a comfort food.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 c. rotini

1 c. broccoli flowerets

1 c. cauliflower flowerets

1 c. chopped carrots

4 oz. package cream cheese, softened

1 can condensed cheddar soup

3/4 c. milk

1/8 t. pepper

1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare rotini per package directions. Add broccoli, cauliflower and carrots to last 5 minutes or so of cooking. Drain and set aside. In same pan, stir in cream cheese until smooth. Add soup, milk, pepper and Parmesan. Heat through over low. Add rotini mixture and stir well. 

When I made this, I cooked the pasta and vegetables separately then added them together. Not sure if that made a difference or not. Some cooked, diced chicken could be added to this for a complete one-dish meal.
