One-Pot Parmesan Rotini
I am in Ottawa, Canada right now and found a calendar put out by the Egg Farmers with all these awesome recipes. I have not tried any of these but they look easy and yummy.
Ingredients
-
3 tbsp flour
-
3/4 tsp each, salt and Italian seasoning
-
1/4 tsp pepper
-
3 cups milk

2 cups water
-
12 oz whole wheat rotini or other short pasta
-
2 cups small broccoli florets
-
1 can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/4 chopped basil
In a large pot, whisk flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper into milk and water
Heat over medium high heat until steaming, stirring twice.
Stir in rotini, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, for 10 mins.
Stir in broccoli
Cover and simmer for about 2 mins, until rotini is almost tender
Uncover and cook, stirring gently for about 3 mins or until pasta is tender but firm, broccoli is tender-crisp and sauce is thickened
Stir in tomatoes and Parmesan
Cook, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon until heated through.
