Whole-Family Pasta with Broccoli and Cauliflower
Many children, especially picky eaters, love pasta loaded with plain butter--a dish that clearly earns low marks on the health scale. This great alternative adds fiber and protein with beans, which kids actually love!

Meanwhile, cook garlic in oil in a large lidded pot over medium heat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli and cauliflower and cook 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, covered, 3 minutes. Add broth, butter, beans, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until beans are warm and sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
-
Add pasta and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with cheese.
Cook's Note:
For added fiber, choose a whole-grain or whole-wheat pasta.
