Pasta in Broth

Pasta In Broth

The easy,
simmer pasta in a can of chicken broth until tender.  Whaaaahlahhhhh….. LOL…

How I like it…

In a deep skillet, bring broth to light simmer.  Put in some broccoli florets, and some carrots.  Cover with lid, and steam  until broccoli starts to brighten up.  Drizzle with lemon juice and basil.  Add noodles.  ANY noodles work.  My two favorite are whole wheat penne or bow ties(as seen above)  Stir to wet noodles in hot broth.  Cover.  Stir ever few minutes to keep noodles from sticking.  Once noodles have absorbed the broth, you should be good to go!  If noodles are still hard, add a little water to soften them up.  As an added YUM, I sprinkle with fresh grated parmessian.

Sorry no amounts.  I always wing it.  Usually its one can of Swanson LOW FAT Broth.  For the noodles, I do a handful per person.  My favorite cheese comes from a company called Frigo.  Its sold in little bowls back by the Deli at Hell-Mart.  For whole wheat penne, I LOVE Healthy Harvest.  And bow ties I like Barilla.

one bowl, and Im completely STUFFED.

For variations:
Sis likes JUST the noodles, with parmessian.
Bub like just noodles, with pasta sauce (like ragu)
Hubby likes to throw it in the trash and grill a steak. hehehehehe

Good luck!
