  • 1/2 cup mixed frozen vegetables blanched
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese



  1. Cook noodles according to box or use 2 cups of water boiling so they soak up water  and 
  2. Do not over cook noodles !!! cook 2 minutes less than what the box recommends 
  3. Place noodles, blanched vegetables and tomato sauce or soup in a big pan where it is easy to stir
  4. Add ham and cheese  stir until cheese is melted into sauce

If you like grilled fresh fish and you want to add some flavor- grabbing some herbs from your window sill or tomatoes off the patio contributes to eating well.
