Salmon-Pasta Skillet

1 & 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 & 1/2 cups corkscrew macaroni
1 10-ounce package frozen mixed vegetables
2 3-ounce packages cream cheese with chives, cut into cubes
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 t. prepared mustard
1/2 t. dried basil, crushed
dash pepper
1 15 and 1/2 can salmon, drained, flaked and skin and bones removed.

In a large skillet bring chicken broth to boiling. Add pasta and vegetables. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or till pasta is just tender. Stir in cream cheese till combined. Stir in milk, Parmesan, mustard, basil, and dash pepper. Gently stir in salmon. Cook till heated through. Serves 4.

This is one of our favorites. It's fast and easy and delicious (our 3 requirements)! We usually use a salmon fillet (like the frozen Costco kind) and just cook it up first, then flake it in at the end.
