Lemony Linguine: Fresh, Easy, and Delicious

I was looking for recipes with which to experiment, and this one seemed right. I'm glad I tried it, and will gladly try it again.
First, cook 2 cups total of spinach and broccoli; drain if necessary. Meanwhile, cook your linguine according to the package directions; drain when ready and return to the original pan. Add the vegetables, a can of unsweetened low-fat evaporated milk, a package of neufchatel cheese, a pinch of nutmeg, a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese, a teaspoon of lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste; cook just until the cheeses are melted and serve immediately.
Will and I both thoroughly enjoyed this dish; it's flavorful, tasty, and fresh tasting. This is a great vegetarian dish packed with nutrients and is low fat to boot. If you aren't a fan of spinach or broccoli, just switch out some of your favorites instead and you'll still wind up with a nutritionally dense, quick, and easy meal everyone will love. Even better still, if you have everything ready to go instantly or a good kitchen triangle, this will take you all of about twenty minutes, so it's especially good if you have a large family you need to feed fast or, like me, one very hungry spouse.
