Categories     Main meal

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

185 g (~ 6 1/2 oz) pasta
75 g (~ 1/2 cup) frozen sweetcorn
3 cubes frozen spinach
1 tbsp oil
~ 15 spears asparagus ((~ 150g / ~ 5 oz), sliced)
1/2 onion, (thinly sliced)
3 cloves garlic, (minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste))
2 medium tomatoes, (diced)
2 tbsp garlic and herb cream cheese
50 g cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 1/2 cup when grated))
2 tbsp water ((you can use the pasta cooking water))
Salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the pasta, frozen sweetcorn, and frozen spinach to a pan with plenty of water, and boil until cooked al dente - around 12-14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and add the chopped asparagus, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, then add the diced tomatoes.
  • After another 2 minutes, add the cream cheese, grated cheddar, and a splash of water. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted and combined to produce a silky sauce.
  • Drain the cooked pasta, add it to the pan with the vegetables and sauce, and mix well to combine. Season to taste, and serve.

I found this on Kraft Foods -- sometimes I add some shrimp if I am feeling like a splurge, or I sub tuna or turkey for the chicken breast if I want lower fat and higher protein.
