ingredients
- 16 ounces spaghetti noodles, uncooked
- 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion or 1/4 cup fresh onion
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 lb leftover ham, cut into small dice
- 10 ounces frozen peas (optional, but good) (optional)
- 1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
directions
- Put the water on to boil for the pasta.
- While that's going, get a large microwave-able casserole with a lid.
- Open up the cans of soup and dump'em in.
- Stir in the milk and seasonings.
- Get all those soup lumps smashed up.
- Now dump in the ham and peas, and stir.
- Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes.
- Stir, and determine if it's gotten hot enough to melt cheese.
- No?
- Nuke it again!
- A couple more minutes.
- When it's just about boiling, dump in the cheese, stir and cover.
- Microwave another couple minutes, and let it have a rest until the pasta is ready.
- It's probably tired.
- You didn't forget that water you put on the stove for the pasta, did you?
- No?
- That's using your noodle.
- So, when you heard that water boiling away, you picked up the lid, dumped in the pasta, and gave it a stir.
- Well, then, it should be ready to drain in the colander now.
- Drain it well, and then add it carefully to that microwave-able casserole you have the sauce in.
- I hope you picked a big one.
- You might want to add just about half of it, stir it around, then add the rest and stir some more.
- Now, unless the sauce had to wait around a long time, it should be hot and ready to serve.
- If not, just cover and microwave on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes until it's hot again.
- This has protein, carbs, and veggies all in one.
- Add a salad or fresh veggie sticks, if you want something more, and some fruit for dessert.
- Dinner is served, and barely a pot was dirtied in the making.
- My kind of cooking!

While many of the recipes I shared here are not even close to low sodium, I myself definitely fit into that category nowadays. Most of these I just don't make anymore and the few I do are only with big changes/substitutions.
