Hungry Girl Mac and Cheese

So I got this email about a mile ago and kept it in my inbox for awhile and I FINALLY got the chance to try it....yum!! I'm a cooked veggie hater, ask my family they'll tell ya:-P This is from the Hungry Girl website so I can't take any of the credit. I did change the veggies, we got the package with broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower because we didn't see just broccoli. This was the perfect side dish to our bbq chicken and spinach w/ romaine salad.

ENJOY!!

Hungry Girl Mac and Cheese

1 package Green Giant Family Size Cauliflower & Three Cheese Sauce (freezer aisle)
2 cups uncooked Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Blend Rotini Pasta (or another whole-wheat or whole-wheat-blend pasta)
3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese
Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Prepare pasta according to the instructions on the box, and then drain well and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the cauliflower & sauce package in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 12 - 16 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. Set aside. Unwrap cheese wedges and place in a small microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, and then add to the bowl.

Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the Laughing Cow cheese is evenly distributed and the pasta and cauliflower are coated in cheese sauce. If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
