Creamy Cajun & Parmesan Noodles

I whipped this together tonight on a whim and it turned out SO good! Big bowl o' noodles and only 100 calories... hard to believe.

Ingredients:
-1 package tofu shirataki noodles (40 calories)
-Pan spray (I used an olive oil spray)-- just enough to coat pan (0 calories)
-"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray-- I used about 20 sprays (will be about 20 calories)
-Shredded parmesan cheese-- 1 tablespoon (20 calories)
-Fat-free half and half -- 2 tablespoons (20 calories)
-Garlic powder, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning to taste (0 calories)

Shout out to Chelle for her awesome guide to shirataki noodles here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/667310-let-s-talk-about-shirataki-noodles-the-continuation

~~~How-to~~~
Step 1: Dry-fry the noodles according to Chelle's instructions in the above link.
Step 2: Add all other ingredients. It's that easy.
Step 3: Eat delicious noodles with no guilt.

Nutrition:
100 calories, 10g carbs, 5g fat, 5g protein, 4g fiber, 210mg sodium

In the future I might add some mushrooms, yellow peppers, and chicken to make it even more of a meal! Will definitely be making this again. :bigsmile:

    2 Questions.

    - what is the difference between pan spray and I can't believe its not butter spray?

    - what is fat free half and half?

    Sorry from Australia and never heard of them.

    Don't think we can get the butter spray any more here in Aust. so just use other oil spray or a touch or real butter and the half and half is like a light cream. About 18% fat.

    Oops... she said fat free half and half so hmm no idea what to substitute it with.

    Update: I made this again last night, double portion with 100 grams of chicken for an absolutely MASSIVE bowl of noodles. Amazing.

    To answer those questions, pan spray is just pressurized oil in a spray can, whereas the "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" is a buttery flavored liquid that comes in a press-down spray bottle. Both have 0 calories if used in small amounts. You could probably substitute skim milk for the fat free half and half, it might be a little less creamy though.

    Bump!

    Sounds sooooo good.
    Does anybody know if Wal-Mart carries the noodles? I was going to look for them when I went grocery shopping the other day but forgot.

    If they don't, where are places that do?

    Sounds great. I have always had great luck my with shirataki noodles. I usually get them at a Asian market, but Albertsons supermarket also sells it. This recipe sounds really good.!

    Not around here. The grocery store has them near the tofu items, asian markets have them, and you can also order them online.
