Lemon Chicken Rigatoni with Broccoli

An easy dinner for the busy mom.  This is a great all-in-one from the kitchens of Betty Crocker.  Talk about a deal.  All ingredients are pretty inexpensive and you only have 1 skillet to clean.  I've made this several times, and it comes out perfect every time.  Not bad in the calorie count either about 380 using margarine.  You can replace the Parmesan cheese with feta cheese for a completely different taste.
