Serve this creamy dish with a tossed green salad or a fruit salad.
QUICK TIP: Whenever you're using frozen vegetables in a pasta dish, go ahead and toss them in with the pasta while it's cooking so both are done at the same time.

* 8 ounces uncooked rotini

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1 cup chopped reduced-fat ham
