2. Add Ingredients: To the saucepan with the cooked pasta, add in the vegetables of your choice (such as broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers), 1 cup of cubed Velveeta cheese, 3/4 cup of reduced-fat milk, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. These ingredients will infuse the dish with flavor and creaminess.

3. Combine and Heat: Stir the mixture gently, ensuring that the Velveeta cheese begins to melt and blend with the other ingredients. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is thoroughly heated. This process should take about 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

4. Serve and Enjoy: Once the Easy Pasta Primavera is heated through and the cheese has melted to perfection, it’s time to serve! Divide the pasta primavera among plates and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors in every bite!
