Red Pepper Pasta

Red Pepper Pasta - 7pts

This is one of my very favorite things right now! It's really easy and very filling. I love it! This recipe makes one serving, or you could split it up and serve it as a side.

Ingredients:
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (3 pts)
½ Red Pepper, sliced thin (0 pts)
¼ Med Onion, sliced thin (0 pts)
Black Pepper to taste (0 pts)
1 cup Fat Free Chicken Broth (0 pts)
2 Tbsp Kraft Classic Caesar Dressing (3 pts)
1 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge (1 pt)

Instructions:
1.Boil Pasta According to directions on the box. (I like to split my pasta into 2oz portions when I get home from the store)
2.Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add the Peppers, Onions, and Black Pepper. Cook until the veggies are browned and softened.
3.Add Chicken Broth and Caesar Dressing. Cover and cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened. Stir occasionally.
4.Toss the Pasta & Veggies in a medium bowl.
5.Stir in the Cheese Wedge while the mixture is still hot.
6.I like to use my kitchen shears to cut the veggies and pasta into bite sized pieces.
7.Enjoy!!
