Cook 1 1/2 cups Dreamfield’s low carb rotini pasta in boiling water for 9 minutes. Add frozen peas and bring back to boil then drain immediately. DO NOT OVER COOK PASTA AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE DIGESTABLE CARBS TO INCREASE.
Cool pasta and peas down by running under cold water then drain well.
Slightly drain canned tomatoes reserving liquid.
Dice ham and string cheese.
Put cooled pasta and peas into a bowl, add seasonings (adjusting to taste), fat free Italian dressing, drained tomatoes, ham and mozzarella, parmesan cheese and toss well. Add reserved tomato liquid as desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
