Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese.

Variation

Substitute 4 cups firmly packed fresh baby spinach leaves for the peas, and stir in 1/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes with the shredded cheese.

How to Warm the Pasta Serving Bowl

Few things lose heat faster than hot cooked pasta served in a cold bowl. To help keep cooked pasta hot, preheat the serving bowl by pouring hot water into the empty bowl and letting it stand for a minute to warm up. Drain water and fill with cooked pasta just before serving.

This recipe has become a family favorite. We make it almost once a week. It's so kid friendly that not only will they eat it, but my 11 year old likes to make it herself for us. Only takes about 20 minutes and tastes wonderful!

Not attended for people who do not enjoy a lot of cheese. This is more like a soup, but extremely filling. Perfect substitute to enjoy over chili during a cold evening.
