Parmesan Alfredo Pasta

Any one who knows me knows that I don't cook. It is time consuming and I would rather use that time doing something fun! That is why sometimes I am grateful for THRIVE foods from Thrive Life. This recipe can be found on the side of the THRIVE Farfalle Pasta as well! I made a few adjustments to what I had in our kitchen or didn't have. 

From start to having food dished on the table was only 20 minutes!


Ingredients:

2 c. THRIVE Rainbow Farfalle Pasta
1 tbsp. garlic
2 tbsp. butter
1 c. water
1/2 c. THRIVE Broccoli (can substitute for THRIVE Asparagus)
3/4 c. THRIVE Mushroom Pieces (optional)
2 tbsp. THRIVE Chopped Onions
1/2 c. THRIVE Bechamel Sauce
1 tsp. THRIVE Chef's Choice Seasoning Blend
1/2 tsp. THRIVE Italian Seasoning Blend
1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. cream or milk
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
3/4 c. THRIVE Tomato Dices (reconstituted)


Directions:

Cook pasta until al dente: set aside. Saute garlic in butter until lightly caramelized. Deglaze with water, then add sauce, seasoning blends, and all veggies except tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Finish with lemon juice, cream or milk, and parmesan cheese and simmer lightly for 1 minute. Fold in tomatoes (do not drain after reconstituting) and pasta, and cook another minute.

Makes 4 servings.
