Green Linguine -By Sanjay

This is another take on simple pasta. It is quick easy and uses that other half of the can of mushroom soup.

Recipe

1 small onion
3 cloves of garlic
30-40 small spears of asparagus
1/2 cup or water
1/2 can mushroom soup
about a fist full of linguine

Put the pasta on to boil.
Chop and saute onion in a separate pan.
Smash your garlic and chop the asparagus into little pinky joints.
Cook with the onion and add water until the asparagus starts to soften.
Throw in the soup.
It tastes best if you bring it to a boil now and then reduce to very low heat while you drain your pasta.
Description
It reminds me of creamy alfredo or something, except it's green.

Suggestions
You can leave a few spears of asparagus aside and uncut to steam by themselves and serve on top of the pasta to make it look a little more fancy.

Simple pasta -by Susan

I was inspired by a recipe of a healthy pasta dish. Its been ages since we had some good pasta.

Recipe:
1/2 box pasta
1/2 c mushrooms
1 yellow bell pepper
1 small onion
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
Italian seasoning
1 tsp oil

Chop vegetables and saute the onions adding the other vegetables when the onion is done.
Boil pasta. Drain and add vegetables, soup and seasonings. Stir thoroughly and leave on heat enough to warm up the soup. Then serve.

Description:
This simple dish turned out really good. I intentionally used just enough mushroom soup to keep the dish from being dry to try to limit the fat.

Suggestions:
I used the vegetables in the fridge, but I think most vegetables would work well here. If you want more juice, just add more soup.
