Quick Fix Lunch or Side

This lunch is so quick and easy! It's hardy a recipe at all!

1 c dried pasta
1 7-10 oz box of steamed vegetables in seasoned sauce, your choice
1 tsp butter or margarine
1 tsp minced fresh parsley
shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired
salt and pepper to taste

For this lunch, I used Green Giant Healthy Weight Steamed Vegetables. It has sliced carrots, sugar snap peas, black beans, and edamame (soy beans)! Yummy!

Cook the pasta and the veggies according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, add the butter or margarine. Next, add the drained pasta and minced parsley. Toss. Then, add the steamed veggies. Toss again. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Last, add the shaved Parmesan cheese (I didn't because I was being lazy)!

Serves 2
