Best Reduced Fat Chicken Spinach Tomato Pasta Recipes
LIGHTER CHICKEN SPINACH & TOMATO PENNE PASTA
I put this recipe together one day and really loved it! I used skim milk, whole wheat penne pasta, and Smart Balance 50/50 butter blend to make it a little healthier yet still creamy and satisfying! Next time I might add some mushrooms to add some more flavor. Special note: I prepared all of the penne but ended up leaving about two servings out because I like a more saucy pasta.
