butterfly22	Posted by dm24angel HOw can it be fat free? Pasta has fat? Pasta does not have fat. What like .5-1g? I can usually only eat about 4 or 5 of the shells before I am stuffed, so that is no wear near the amount in a "usual" pasta dish anyway. Also, you don't need to saute in oil, just cooking spray. Carbs have such a bad rep and while I agree the "white carbs" have no real nutritional value, it's the PORTIONS that as so bad about them. In this dish you are getting dairy, veggies, and serve it with chicken and you are complete! Message edited 7/8/2005 6:39:26 AM. Posted 7/8/05 6:34 AM
