Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 1/2 oz. (about 2 cups) uncooked whole-wheat-blend or high-fiber rotini pasta (like the

kind by Ronzoni)

24 oz. (about 6 cups) frozen Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese Sauce

3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

Optional: salt and black pepper

Directions:

In a large pot, prepare pasta according to the instructions on the package; drain well

and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the broccoli & sauce package in

a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until sauce has melted and broccoli

is hot, 10 - 12 minutes.

Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked

pasta. Unwrap cheese wedges and add those as well.

Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the cheese wedges are evenly distributed and the pasta

and broccoli are coated in cheese sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if you

like, and then enjoy!
