Pasta Cakes with Broccoli

Strange but good, cheap, easy and low fat, low calorie recipe. It always surprises people, but they always like it. I wrote this down years ago, from a magazine, I think.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  cups low-fat milk
• 1⁄4 lb angel hair pasta, broken in small pieces
• 10  ounces frozen broccoli, thawed
• 2  cups tomato sauce
• 2  cloves garlic, crushed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Scald milk but don't boil.
2. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with Pam, divide broken angel hair pasta between the 12 muffin cups, add a 1/4 cup hot milk to each cup.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in preheated 400° oven.
4. Take out of oven, let stand for 15 minutes.
5. Remove pasta cakes from cups and fry 1 minute each side in pan coated with Pam.
6. Meanwhile, combine tomato sauce, herbs and spices and thawed broccoli, and heat to make a sauce.
7. You could also use bottled sauce with no problem.
