Pasta for me is a comfort food, but with added sauces and creams, the caloric value can quickly add up. I’ve got another recipe here from Robin Takes 5: 500 Recipes, 5 Ingredients or Less, 500 Calories or Less, that will satisfy your pasta cravings at only 419 calories per serving. It’s a pretty sensible dinner that gives you 17 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, 11 grams of fat, and is very low in sodium. Plus, it’s super simple and can be done from start to finish in a half hour.

YUMMY! I’m thinking this would be tasty with some spinach-tomato-basil pasta, using white asparagus as well.

I wish I liked asparugus (can’t get past the slimy texture) because that looks heavenly.
