By Scrappin Broad

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 c instant rice
• 1 lb yellow squash or zucchini, cut into 1" to 2" pieces
• 1 lb broccoli or cauliflower, cut into 1" to 2" pieces
• 1 jar (15-1/2-oz.) spaghetti sauce
• 1/4 c water
• 1 c shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a 2-qt. casserole dish, place rice and top with vegetables.

Step 2

Pour sauce and water over vegetable mixture. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, piercing to allow steam to escape. Microwave at 100% power for 14-16 min. or until vegetables are fork tender.

Step 3

Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle cheeses over vegetables. Cover with a foil tent and let stand 5 minutes. Remove foil and microwave at 100% power for 1-2 minutes to reheat and melt cheese before serving.
