Cheese-Garlic Biscuits (Cooking for 2)
Total Time: 20 min

1.	In 3-quart saucepan, cook pasta as directed on package-except add mushrooms, broccoli and carrot during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
2.	Meanwhile, in 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix milk, cornstarch, tarragon, salt and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Stir in remaining ingredients until cheese is melted and spinach is wilted. Drain pasta mixture; toss with sauce.

Substitution

Not fond of the pungent anise flavor of tarragon? Go ahead and use cilantro, marjoram or parsley instead.

Substitution

No mostaccioli on hand? Use 4 ounces of any other pasta. You'll need about 1 cup elbow macaroni to equal 4 ounces, or about 2 cups egg noodles.
