• Add in all veggies and saute'.


• Meanwhile, make noodles according to package.


• Sprinkle Garlic powder and Cracked Black Pepper into veggie mix.


• When noodles are done, drain, and add the 2 TBSP of Olive Oil- cover.

Pasta Primavera Alfredo

This is the picture the magazine gave me.... ours turned out exactly like the picture! Enjoy!

I got this recipe from Kraft foods Magazine. It is SO good.... it tastes just like regular Alfredo, except it is so much healthier!

What you need:

2 boxes of spaghetti, uncooked

6 cups small broccoli florets (we added some cauliflower too.... it was delicious!)

6 carrots, cut into thin slices

1-- 8 oz. pkg of Cream cheese, cubed

2 cups milk

2/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

How to make it:

Cook spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package, adding vegetables to the boiling water the last 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook remaining ingredients in saucepan on medium- low heat until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.

Drain spaghetti mixture; return to pan. Add sauce; toss to coat.

Let me know if any of you make it and how you like it! :)
