PASTA E FAGIOLI

This is a great soup crammed with healthy vegetables and like most Weight Watchers recipes (of which this is one), really easy to make. Use any old dry pasta you may have lying around. This can make a wholesome meal; sprinkle the soup with parmesan cheese and serve it with a slice of chewy bread, good for dunking, and a green salad. One of my favorite meals. And no one needs to know it came from Weight Watchers.

PASTA E FAGIOLI

1 16-oz can Italian-style crushed or whole Italian-style tomatoes, finely chopped

1 C frozen mixed vegetables

3 C cold cooked pasta or 3/4 C dry pasta

3 C water

1. Place all ingredients in a medium-size saucepan.

2. If using cooked pasta, simmer for 10 minutes. If using dry pasta, you may need to cook this a little longer. Add enough water during the cooking process to just cover the pasta.
