Hi-- I get this newsletter in my email quite often and this recipe sounded really good....so I just had to try it! It was sooooooooo good and very easy to make...if you don't care for ham, I think cooked chicken would really be good to...or even without any meat. Enjoy! hugs, peg Creamy Pesto Garden Pasta Estimated Times: Preparation - 10 min | Cooking - 15 min | Yields - 6 servings Ingredients 1 box (12 oz.) dry tri-color rotini or spiral shaped pasta 1 bag (16 oz.) frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrot medley 1 can (12 fl. oz.)
