Linguini with Vegetables and Sauce

Wow! I am really behind with posting recipes. Perhaps it is because we have been eating very simple meals that I figure you all make anyway. This recipe is so easy I don't know if you should call it a recipe. It is more like dumping things in a pan and then heating it. Or, something like that.

Linguini with Vegetables and Alfredo Sauce

• 28 oz. jar of Alfredo sauce (I only used a 15 oz jar and it was enough flavor with less fat and calories)
• 1 lb. box linguini
• 1 1/2 cups chopped chicken from freezer, (optional, this can easily be made vegetarian)
• 1 bag (14 oz.) bag frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots
• 1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained (also optional, I was the only one who ate the tomatoes on top)
• Parmesan Cheese (to taste)

Prepare linguine according to directions, cooking frozen vegetables with linguini. Drain all and return to pan. Add sauce and chicken and heat. Heat tomatoes in microwave or on stovetop. Serve pasta mixture topped with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

It doesn't get any easier than that! This also warmed up well.

I got my first magazine in the mail yesterday and was so excited. I had to sit at a practice for one of the kids for 1 1/2 hours and it was so nice to have something to read. I absolutely LOVE it. Wonderful tips, exercises, meals, and pointers to use. Thank you SO MUCH!
