Quick Weekday Pasta

8 ounces uncooked rotini pasta

1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced fat cream of chicken soup

2 cups chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained

1 cup chopped cooked chicken

½ cup skim milk

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a bowl, mix soup, broccoli, chicken, and milk. Season with garlic powder and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish and top with Cheddar cheese.

Cover and bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover and continue baking 10 minutes, until bubbly.
