Kids' Pasta and Cheese

My husbands only comment on this meal: "not the best recipe." I'd have to agree with him. I was expecting to feel this way though. The name of it does have the word "kid" in it. And it is kid friendly. Logan's comments on it: "mmm, nummy. Hot dogs!" 
This recipe will be put in the "kids lunch" file. I'd probably put in 3 hot dogs instead of 2, we're a hot dog loving family. So this recipe is 3 stars for me, but probably a 4 star for Logan. It just depends on your audience.

Ingredients:
1 cup acini di pepe pasta
1 cup frozen peas
2 turkey or chicken hot dogs - sliced thinly
4 ounces (about 1 cup) shredded melting cheese such as American, cheddar or gruyere
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper as desired


Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions until just before desired doneness is reached. Two minutes before pasta is done, add peas and hot dogs to cooking water and cook until heated through.


Drain water from pasta, hot dogs and peas. Put back into pot and add milk and cheese. Heat over a very low flame, stirring constantly until cheese is melted and pasta is coated well. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
