Pasta Primavera....HmHW style!

I will start by saying that this dinner is probably not healthy, and probably not the right proportions of the food groups, but I don't really care because it's yummy and super easy! (H loves it when I make anything with pasta in it)

Ingredients:
1 box of small pasta (nuggets, ditalini, rings, small shells)
1 large can of canned chicken ( can use cubed chicken breast as well, I'm too lazy)
1 frozen bag of mixed vegetables
1 packet of Knorr sauce packet (I use either: creamy pesto, garlic & herb, or four cheese)

1 tube of biscuits/rolls/crescents

All ingredients needed (plus milk and olive oil for the sauce)

1.)  I preheat my oven for the rolls first thing as it takes forever to heat up.  
2.) After I set the oven, I fill my big pot with hot tap water, and get that boiling 
3.)  I mix all ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan, but do not turn that burner on yet. (If the sauce gets done too early and sits, it gets kind of thick and clumpy)

The oil and milk won't mix together yet and still want to separate

4.) Once oven pre-heated and water boiling, put rolls in the oven and put your pasta in the water.  (I put my rolls in for the minimum time suggested and they come out perfectly!)
5.)  I put mixed vegetables into a bowl and put in microwave for 2 mins 30 secs.  
6.) While veggies in microwave, open the can of chicken and drain.  Once drained, take fork and mash up the chicken chunks.
7.) Stir veggies, probably still partially frozen, put back in microwave for another 2 mins.  Once they are fully heated through, add chicken to bowl and mix together.
8.)  Check your pasta, should be getting close to done (the time for the rolls is usually a good amount of time for the pasta)
9.)  Once pasta is almost done, turn on your saucepan to medium heat.  Use a whisk to make sure ingredients are well blended (make sure you use a rubber coated whisk for non-stick cookware)
10.) Remove rolls from oven when done (usually done first), then drain your pasta.
11.) Return pasta back to cooking pot (not on the hot burner) and add the veggie/chicken mixture and mix well.

12.)  Keep an eye on your sauce through all of this, stirring frequently and reducing to low heat once ingredients are staying mixed together (oil and milk separate easily until heated up).  It heats up fast and it can burn easily, once it starts to slightly bubble, keep stirring it until a saucy consistency.  Remove from heat and immediately pour into cooking pot with pasta/veggies/chicken.  Stir together well.

Basically, prepare all ingredients as you normally would and dump them all together in the cooking pot (except your rolls) and stir together.  Follow instructions for the sauce packet, each 'flavor' has different ingredients and amounts.

 I forgot to take a picture of the rolls, but hey, they are rolls, not sure you can really screw them up unless you forget them in the oven and they are burnt to a crisp!

This feeds my H and I for one dinner and usually one person can have leftovers the next day.  To make this not so bad, prepare grilled chicken and use this as a side dish (leave out the canned chicken if you go this route).

ENJOY!
