Pronto Saucy Pasta Skillet

This recipe is quick and simple.



Prep:5 minutes Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 lb (8 oz) your favorite uncooked bite-sized pasta
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 jar (4 1/2 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained (I used fresh mushrooms.)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese



Directions:

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Add tomatoes to skillet.



Add mushrooms.



Add broccoli florets.



Add beans.



Stir in the ranch dressing. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.



Top with cheese; cover.



Let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Stir in pasta.



Makes 4 servings.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - I like this pasta dish. It's fast and simple. The next time I make it, I'll add more veggies and use less pasta.

Randy - Thumbs Down - I don't like pasta or the tomatoes.

Nathan - Thumbs Down - Nathan is not a big pasta fan. He ate all the beans and broccoli off his plate.

Leftovers: This reheated greatly. I had some leftovers for breakfast one morning. It was great!
