Veggie Pasta-Really?



Veggie Pasta-Really?

1 cup steamed veggies - carrots, potatoes, broccoli
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
garlic salt/garlic powder/garlic spread seasoning to taste
salt to taste (if not using garlic salt)
pinch of oregano
1 cup cooked pasta of your choice-my son likes thin spaghetti, small elbow macaroni works well as well. The picture shows sauce with tri-color egg noodles
1 tbsp butter (optional- I add it for my skinny LO)
1/c water/chicken broth

Add all ingredients to a blender and puree. For small batches I use my Magic Bullet.
Add some water/chicken broth if the puree is very thick. Add the puree to a sauce pan and bring to Boil.
Simmer for few minutes and add the pasta and butter.
The color of this sauce may change depending on the Veggies used.

Reduce Calories: Substitute cream with half and half/or milk, omit butter
Flavor twist: Add couple of tablespoons of your favorite pasta sauce
