I love this quick and easy recipe. It has carbs, vegetables, dairy and meat. Add a salad and you have a complete meal. While it is not that diet friendly it is a dish you can treat yourself, friends and family with, once in awhile.

  • This turned out great. DIdn't add the salt, but we're not big on salt also went with the half & half. Will have again.

  • Omit butter and save 200 Calories. Use Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta and bump up the fiber. Use Half & Half instead of heavy cream and save 757 calories! The taste is almost the same and you save A LOT of calories so you can make it more often!!!
