Pan Pasta

I find myself making this more and more as we have a drought in California.  Saute garlic in a bit of spray in a deep frypan, add a couple of handfuls of pasta and a cup of water with a teaspoon of soy sauce, and stir until the pasta is cooked (about 2 minutes longer than the time on the box)  See it here with kid friendly peas & carrots - but it works for broccoli and mushrooms too!  In fact, it's often the choice when there's nothing in the house for lunch (or even a packed lunch in a thermos)
