A really easy and delish way to slip the veggies in with the pasta and cheese. Kids will eat this! :-) Ingredients:
12 ounces uncooked fettuccine |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1 medium onion (chopped) |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (undrained) |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can italian-style diced tomatoes (undrained) |
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach (thawed, squeezed to drain) |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 cup shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package.
2. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in garlic, salt and both cans of tomatoes. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are thoroughly heated.
