Toddler Pasta Recipe

A great way to give your toddler their daily vitamin A--key for vision and
immunity.

1 cup small alphabet-shaped pasta
3/4 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
3/4 finely chopped broccoli
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 oz. cheddar or provolone cheese, finely diced or shredded  (1/3 cup)

Bring lightly salted water to a boil.  Add pasta.  Cook, uncovered for 12 minutes, stirring in vegetables the last 5 minutes of cooking.  Drain; return to pan.  Add oil and pepper.  Toss to coat and cool.

Veggies tend to be friendlier in a bowl of letters!
