Mmmm, a Weight Watchers recipe that is still so tasty!
Pesto Pasta
3 tbsp pesto sauce (store bought...unless you're super ambitious to make your own...)
3 cups mixed veggies (I use frozen "California mix" veggies w/ carrots, califlour and broccoli)
1 c fat free evaporated milk
4 c cooked pasta (I use wheat noodles pretty much always now...)
1 oz part skim mozz cheese (yup, I use more than an oz, sorry... prob more like 1/2 to 1 cup)
Directions:
1. Heat a large non-stick pan coated w/ cooking spray. Add pesto sauce & veggies, stirring until softened and thawed.
2. Add milk, bring to boil & simmer for 4-5 min. Stir in pasta and cheese; cook until heated through. Yeilds about 1 1/2 c per serving (4 servings.)
One thing I realized about halfway through making it this time is I could use the ENTIRE bag of frozen veggies and the ENTIRE can of evap milk and just add like another tbsp and a little more pasta and have more leftovers. So yeah, haven't tested that one yet, but I think you could totally make the recipe a little bigger and it'd be more functional bc it'd more fully utilize the stuff you're buying for it anyway.

That looks ridiculously good!
p.s. if you ever decide to make your own pesto, make a big batch, freeze it in ice cube trays, then pop the pesto-cubes out into a baggie for the freezer... perfect portions.
