Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup pasta (fusilli, macaroni or other small pasta shape)
3 tablespoons low-fat milk
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese

Steps:

  • Microwave the pasta and 1/2 cup water in a 16-ounce mug for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stopping a few times towards the end to stir to prevent the water from boiling over.
  • Add the milk, pumpkin puree and salt to mug. Continue microwaving for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to stir occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
  • Cover and allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cheese, then cover until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately, or pack into an insulated lunch container for a hot lunch on the go.
