30-Minute Creamy Pasta with Ham and Veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat chives-and-onion cream cheese (from 8-oz container)
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots, cut lengthwise in half if large
  • 8 oz fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked ham strips (1x1/4-inch)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
Instructions:
  • Prepare the pasta according to package instructions and then drain.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, combine cream cheese and half-and-half. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until melted and smooth.
  • Add the carrots and stir them in. Let them cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add the asparagus, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until the veggies are crisp-tender.
