Tips: This is a very tasty pasta dish and gets you your protein, veggies and carbs all in one skillet. I used fat free half-and-half to cut down on calories. The sauce was a little thin but still very flavorful. If you are looking for a very creamy sauce and aren't worried about calories, try using whipping cream in place of the half-and-half. I also shared this recipe at All the Small Stuff's Tuesday at the Table.
