Fusilli Cheddar Bake

Description: An old recipe that my mum used to cook when we were younger. A quick and easy twist on Mac'n'cheese. You could make it lighter by using all low-fat products.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, I use low fat
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 2 cups light cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 cups rotini noodles (I use fucilli noodles)
• 1 cup frozen vegetables
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, ground, to taste

Steps:

1. Oven at 350°F.
2. Cook noodles as per package directions.
3. Sautee onions in butter till softened.
4. Divide cheese into 2 amounts, 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 cup.
5. Mix all ingredients in a casserole dish, reserving 1/2 cup of cheese.
6. Top with reserved cheese.
7. Bake for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
