    Probably if you just use Barilla vegetable pasta (penne for instance) add a low calorie or low carb dressing and then dress it up with black olives, fresh garlic (I have to have garlic in everything :flowerforyou: ), chopped green onions, celery or zuchini or cucumber, red bell peppers, marinated artichoke hearts (or the ones in water); that's for a start.

    You can also use Whole wheat pasta too. It is also better for you than reguler pasta.
