500 g pasta (short or long will be fine)
1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water
your favorite cooked vegetables (leftovers are fine)
1/4 cup milk
1-2 tablespoons light cream cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of garlic powder
Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. If you are cooking something like broccoli or cauliflower from its raw state, cut it into florets and add it to the pasta 10 minutes before it's done. This way the pasta and veg cook together. When the pasta is al dente, remove all but 1/4 cup of water from the pot (I use my pot lid to drain my pasta and just eyeball the amount of water I leave in the pot).
Return the pot to the stove and turn the heat down low. If you are using leftover vegetables, add them in now, along with the milk, cream cheese and parmesan. Give everything a good stir and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and garlic powder. Stir again so that everything is coated and heated through. Serves 2.
