Okay okay, it doesn't LOOK great, but it taste real good. And my picture doesn't exactly look like the picture in the magazine, but close enough.Creamy Pasta:
1 1/2 cups of rotini pasta, uncooked (so I didn't have rotini pasta on hand, so I used penne)
3 cups broccoli, cut into florets (I used fresh, but I'd assume you can use frozen too)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup fat free reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 cup 2 % milk shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 375. Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding broccoli for the last 3 minutes
Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet on medium -high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes or until no longer pink (took me about 7 minutes), stirring frequently. Stir in broth. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until chicken is done. Add Cream cheese; cook and stir on low heat for 1 minute. (or until cream cheese is melted) stir in 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Drain pasta and broccoli. Add to chicken mixture; mix lightly. Spoon into 8 inch square baking dish; cover.
Bake 15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake, uncovered, 3 minutes or until melted. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.
Kids loved it. Hubby loved it. Will make this again. It was easy, yummy, and pleasing.
Oh and I doubled mine, and put it in a 9 x 13 baking dish. There was enough left over to feed Casey lunch for 2 days. Makes enough.
