Nutritional Information

Wowowow, this stuff is good! We took an already awesome HG recipe and gave it a Mexican-inspired makeover. Cilantro haters, fret not. Just leave it out…

Ingredients

  • 4-½ ounces . (about 2 Cups) Dry Uncooked Whole-wheat-blend Rotini Pasta (like The Kind By Ronzoni)
  • 24 ounces (about 6 Cups) Frozen Green Giant Cauliflower & Cheese (or Three Cheese) Sauce
  • 3 wedges The Laughing Cow NEW! Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Cilantro
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 pinch Salt And Black Pepper, To Taste

Preparation

In a large pot, prepare pasta al dente (firm) according to the instructions on the package; drain well and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the cauliflower & sauce package(s) in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 10 – 12 minutes, until sauce has melted and cauliflower is hot.

Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked pasta. Unwrap cheese wedges and add those as well.

Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the Laughing Cow cheese is evenly distributed and the pasta and cauliflower are coated in cheese sauce. Add cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
