1
Put the water on to boil for the pasta.
-
2
While that's going, get a large microwave-able casserole with a lid.
-
3
Open up the cans of soup and dump'em in.
-
4
Stir in the milk and seasonings.
-
5
Get all those soup lumps smashed up.
-
6
Now dump in the ham and peas, and stir.
-
7
Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes.
-
8
Stir, and determine if it's gotten hot enough to melt cheese.
-
9
No?
-
10
Nuke it again!
-
11
A couple more minutes.
-
12
When it's just about boiling, dump in the cheese, stir and cover.
-
13
Microwave another couple minutes, and let it have a rest until the pasta is ready.
-
14
It's probably tired.
-
15
You didn't forget that water you put on the stove for the pasta, did you?
-
16
No?
-
17
That's using your noodle.
-
18
So, when you heard that water boiling away, you picked up the lid, dumped in the pasta, and gave it a stir.
-
19
Well, then, it should be ready to drain in the colander now.
-
20
Drain it well, and then add it carefully to that microwave-able casserole you have the sauce in.
-
21
I hope you picked a big one.
-
22
You might want to add just about half of it, stir it around, then add the rest and stir some more.
-
23
Now, unless the sauce had to wait around a long time, it should be hot and ready to serve.
-
24
If not, just cover and microwave on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes until it's hot again.
-
25
This has protein, carbs, and veggies all in one.
-
26
Add a salad or fresh veggie sticks, if you want something more, and some fruit for dessert.
-
27
Dinner is served, and barely a pot was dirtied in the making.

28
My kind of cooking!
