I LOVE pasta! And I can have a huge bowl of this and still be doing really good on my calories! Oh happy day!

Ingredients:

2 oz. dried whole Wheat pasta, I prefer linguinie, but whatever you like is fine
3 oz uncooked medium shrimp
1 tbs smart balance light butter
2 wedges laughing cow swiss cheese
1/2 TBS Creole Seasoning
1/2 TBS Capers
a squeeze of lemon juice
Mrs Dash to taste,
a little water to thin in out
2 tbs of reduced fat parmesian cheese

Directions:

Boil noodles and shrimp in different pots until both cooked... I like my pasta a little over done so cook it a little longer. Drain both, In the pot with the shrimp, melt in your butter and laughing cow cheese, add about 1/4 cup of water to thin it out, add your creol seasoning, Lemon Juice, mrs. Dash and Capers, pour over your pasta and top with Parmesan Cheese!

Bon Appetite! This makes one LARGE portion for 381 calories, but you could easily break it into 2 servings and serve with a side salad or something. Enjoy!
