Lisa’s Healthier “Pasta Roni™”

Ingredients
1
2
1

box Pasta Roni - Chicken, Chicken-Broccoli, or Shells and White Cheddar
cups frozen or fresh broccoli
cup dry whole wheat pasta such as Hodgson Mills™ or Prince’s Healthy
      Harvest™- any shape
Skim milk and water

Directions|
Prepare box of Pasta Roni based on instructions on the box, OMITTING the 2 Tbsp of butter it always calls for, AND adding 1½ cups of water to box instructions to accommodate the extra pasta.

While pasta is cooking, microwave the broccoli

Mix all ingredients together, let sit for 5 minutes and serve.

This makes about 4 cups, containing about 175 calories a cup.

It’s a good fiber source and low fat since the butter is eliminated and the sauce packet is dispersed. By adding the broccoli and whole wheat pasta we’ve increased the fiber and nutrients.

Any vegetable can be substituted for the broccoli.
