You can never have too many pasta and cheese meals to suit your kids, but what about the veggies?  Simple… mix them right in!  Anytime I can get my kids to eat their vegetables, I feel like a successful cook.  My opinion is that it’s all fair… if you must cover your kids’ veggies in pasta and cheese, so be it.  It works and that’s great!

1 12oz package of shells and cheese pasta mix.
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
1 cup baby peas (frozen)
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Cook shells and cheese pasta as directed on packaging.  In a large skillet, warm dressing over medium heat.  Place broccoli and bell pepper in skillet and cook until somewhat tender.  Add frozen peas, cooked shells, and basil to the skillet and mix well. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
