Quick Cooking Broccoli & Cheese Campanelle

Most of my quick cooking pasta dishes leave plenty of room for innovation. So go ahead and experiment with your favorite ingredients (or whatever you have on hand). For example, in this recipe, you could substitute Alfredo sauce for the Cheddar..Not a fa of Apple-Jack Cheese? then use a Monterrey Jack or Provolone. And if red meat isn't your thing, go for diced chicken instead. Be creative and Enjoy!

Brocolli & Cheese Campanelle (or rotini pasta)

1 pound Campanelle or rotini pasta
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 bag (12 ounces) fresh broccoli flowerets
1 jar (16 oz. or more) double cheddar sauce
1 pkg. (8 oz.) diced ham
1 cup grated pepper-Jack cheese

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and onion flakes, cook for 4 mins. Add broccoli; cook for 5 mins. longer.

Meanwhile, in medium-size saucepan, heat Cheddar sauce, ham and pepper-Jack cheese, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and broccoli and return to pot. Stir in cheese sauce mixture until combined. Serve Warm.
