WE are going to have veggie soup for dinner tonight from the other night. Ended up not taking a pot to Grandma's yesterday as they took the kids to Chuckie Cheeses.

I made this the other night and it was really good from Family Circle magazine.

Creamy bow-ties with Broccolini and ham
12 oz bow-tie pasta
1 bunch broccolini (12 oz) or broccoli
2 T butter
1 med onion, chopped
1 c half & half (I just used milk)
1/4 t salt & pepper
8 oz cooked ham, cut into strips
Grated Parmesan

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package, adding broccolini to water the last 3 min. of cooking. Reserve about 1 cup of cooking water before draining.

Heat butter in medium skillet over med-high heat until melted. Add onion, saute 4 min or until soft. Add half & half, salt and pepper simmer, uncovered 3 min or until thickened.

Add ham, cover and cook unitl heated though, about 2 minutes.

Toss pasta and broccolini with sauce. Add a little pasta water to think, if desired. Serve with grated Parmesan.
