We have had this a couple of times over the years when I have been off and on Weight Watchers. It is a nice way of having a bit of a cream pasta meal without having to worry much about the fat grams. I got it from a WW cookbook put out by the UK version of WW a number of years ago. The recipe claims to be 11 points for the whole recipe but I know that UK points and USA points are worked out differently. Ingredients:
4 1/2 ounces tagliatelle pasta noodles |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 leek, chopped |
9 ounces mushrooms, sliced |
1 tablespoon dried herbs |
4 fluid ounces vegetable stock |
4 1/2 ounces fat free cream cheese |
4 1/2 ounces deli ham, smoked |
2 tablespoons nonfat milk |
Directions:
1. Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of lightly salted boiling water, according to the instructions on the packet.
2. Meanwhile place the garlic, leek, mushrooms and herbs in a large saucepan with the stock and bring to a boil.
3. Turn down the heat and then simmer for 10 minutes, until the leeks are soft.
4. Add the cheese, ham, milk and a bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the vegetables and mix together.
5. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce tossing everything together well.
6. Serve immediately.
