You need

To buy

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

From your shelf

  • 22 oz jar Prego four cheese alfredo pasta sauce

Staples

  • 6 oz pasta
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 6 oz pasta and 3 cups broccoli florets, stirring to separate the broccoli into individual pieces. Cook until the pasta is tender and the broccoli is just soft, about eight to nine minutes.

  3. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Divide between two bowls and serve at once.

Note Swap broccoli for frozen peas or spinach if you like. Leftovers keep refrigerated for two days and reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water. Serve with a green salad or garlic bread on the side.
