This is one of the easiest pasta recipes I've created in
quite some time. Florida
fresh seasonal squash and sweet peppers, baby portabella mushrooms,
Philadelphia Brand cooking creme along with leftover cheese tortellini turned
out to be a most delicious pasta dinner in just 30 minutes.
Being a member of the Kraft First Taste
community, I was given an opportunity to test Philadelphia cooking creme about a year ago.
They provided free product coupons. In return, I was asked to evaluate the
product through surveys. Of course, sharing and blogging about the cooking
creme is always appreciated but not required. So, I blogged about Mexican Lasagna I prepared
with the Santa Fe Blend over at The Midlife Woman. At that time I also tested
the Italian Cheese and Herb variety, and have to admit I wasn't too
impressed... the creme was overly seasoned.
Feeling as though I didn't truly test the Italian blend, when another coupon opportunity arose I had to take it. Oh boy I'm really happy I did too!! This pasta recipe is particularly wonderful not only for the delicious flavor but for using what you have on hand. The amounts and ingredients depend solely on your personal tastes.
Ingredients
Cooked Pasta
Fresh Vegetables
- 1 - 2 Tbps. Olive Oil (for sauteing veggies)
- 1/3 cup chicken broth or water
- Philadelphia Brand Italian herb & Cheese Cooking Creme
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Method
Choose your favorite pasta and cook according to package directions or use left over pasta. I used leftover cheese tortellini. The amounts shown made two adult servings, about 4 cups.
Next quick saute the vegetables in the olive oil over a medium heat to brown outsides. We don't want mushy veggies, be sure to add the quick cooking veggies last.
Lower the temperature and add the cooking creme. I used 1/2 the container.
Stir in the chicken broth or water, blend completely with the vegetables. add the pasta, season with fresh ground pepper, and eat!
