Kids in the Kitchen: Wheels on the Bus

Recipe: Kids in the Kitchen: Wheels on the Bus

Wheel pasta always goes over big in my house! It makes for a great lunch that you can make with your kids the night before, using leftover pasta from dinner. The cannellini beans boost protein and fiber in the meal.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

2 ounces dry wagon wheel (rotelle) pasta, cooked
1⁄2 cup canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1⁄2 cup frozen peas and carrots, cooked
2 tablespoons sweet Vidalia onion dressing

1⁄2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1⁄4 cup fresh strawberry halves
1⁄4 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1 cup your child’s favorite cereal

Instructions:

Combine pasta, beans, carrots, and peas and toss with the dressing. Top yogurt with strawberries and pineapple and pack on the side along with the cereal separately.
