Leftover Pasta

I have an assortment of pasta today - without sauce - some noodles with broccoli, some tortellini, and some cauliflower just sittin in my fridge begging to be used.

So I decided to crack open a can of cream of chicken and put the leftovers to good use.

Ingredients:
1 10 oz can cream of chicken
1/2 cup pesto
1/2 cup milk

Instructions: Heat up the above three ingredients in a medium sauce pan on medium-high until it boils, then reduce on low for about five minutes.  Add in leftover extravaganza items and wa-la!  Dinner is served!

Serve with french bread on the side if available.

SO EASY!
