Ingredients:
- 1 (10-ounce) can condensed 98% fat-free, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1/2 pound whole-wheat rotini pasta, cooked according to package directions
- 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. In a bowl, blend soup with sour cream until smooth. Add pasta and pimiento; set aside.
3. Melt margarine in a sauté pan and sauté mushrooms, onions and celery until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
