Ingredients
-
about 1-2 cups cheese, or 1/2 cup of queso dip or velveeta
* if making vegan, use fake cheese or none at all and use onion pieces to sprinkle over top for crunchiness*
1 lb of a pasta product ( I use whatever I have on hand like rotini, elbows, wheels, penne...)
2-4 TBSP fat free milk (enough to make a cream out of can of soup)
*if making vegan, use soy milk or water*
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup sauteed chopped mushrooms,
1/4 cup sauteed chopped onions
1 can cream soup (mushroom, broccoli, potato, whatever)
*if making vegan, use 1 cup soy milk, mix with 2 TBSP flour, salt and pepper to taste and vegetables of choice, saute veggies, mix milk, flour, salt and pepper together, bring to simmer in pan and stir till thick. to thicken further, mix COLD water with a bit of flour and add to sauce)
Tips
if using tomatoes, don't saute them. if adding other ingredients, add to sauce and not to finished product.
Directions
boil water in large pot, add pasta, stir, bring back to boil and lightly cover.
chop desired vegetables, add pam spray or veggie oil to pan, saute vegetables till tender and set aside
if making vegan, make a cream by mixing soy milk, flour, salt and pepper then pouring into a pan on low heat and simmer till desired thickness.
if using canned soup, add soup to pan, add milk enough to thin it out but not be sloppy.
add veggies and 1 cup of cheese to sauce,
drain and rinse pasta, add sauce
pour all into a clear oven safe dish and cover well with cheese
*if making vegan or using queso, sprinkle onion bits on top*
place under broiler for 5 minutes or until top is golden
put
