Here's an easy, frugal, and tasty meal. We are a family of four and we had leftovers that we packed for our lunches the next day. I used salt, pepper, and rotini pasta that I already have in my pantry. If you are worried about the sodium content of the cream of mushroom, you can always skip the salt. Another option is to only use half of the can and water it down. You can also substitute the sour cream with yogurt.
