From The Mcdougall Plan
Bonnie - This is vegies and pasta so I don't know if it'll fit for you or not. It's been really popular every time I've made it. Sorry I don't have amounts of ingredients - it's one of those recipes that has a lot of room for flexibility.
Pasta: 1 oz./person - use rotini or penne or small shells or other small pasta.
Cook and drain.
Vegies: My favorites are broccoli and carrots, cauliflower; mushrooms and peas are good - whatever you like. Spinach is good too... summer squash... you get the idea!
Cook slightly (I use the microwave and just steam them a bit)
Toss pasta and vegies in bowl with grated cheese of choice - swiss is excellant with this; just use enough to give it a hint of flavor.
Put into greased casserole and bake, covered, 350, for about 20 minutes or to heat and melt cheese.
I know this is boring, but I also like to cook small red potatoes (whole, if small enough) until tender - toss with a bit of butter, some lemon juice and some chives and other herbs and pop into a casserole and cover. Can be reheated slightly but also good at room temp.
Bon appetit!
