A couple of recipes to try...

I received a Kraft food and family magazine in the mail the other day full of recipes. Some are not very supportive for the MOOsers needs, however, I found 2 that seem to be pretty decent (and sound yummmmmmy). I will definitely put the ingredients on my shopping list and try something new this week! I will look for a fat free dressing that is high fructose corn syrup free in place of the light ceaser that is recommended. Adding some chicken to the Spinach Pasta Toss will make it a complete meal!

Spinach Pasta Toss

Prep Time:

5 min

Total Time:

25 min

Makes:

6 servings, 1 cup each

What you need:

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups multi-grain penne pasta, uncooked

1 cup water

1 pkg. (9 oz.) baby spinach leaves (7 cups)

1 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Italian* Three Cheese Blend

Make It!

BRING tomatoes, pasta and water to boil in large saucepan; stir. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 10 min. or just until pasta is tender.

ADD 1/2 of spinach; simmer, covered, 2 min. or until wilted. Stir. Repeat with remaining spinach.

SERVE topped with cheese.

Special Extra

For a spicier dish, add 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes or hot pepper sauce along with the tomatoes.

Purchasing and Storing Garlic

Look for heads of garlic that are both large and plump with dry skins. Store in a cool dark place, such as on a pantry shelf, for up to 8 weeks.
