- Over Chicken – You don’t even need the pasta… Just pour this healthy sauce over chicken for a delicious meal.
- Add to Mac and Cheese – You make a similar sauce for homemade Mac and cheese… try adding in some Alfredo for parmesan kick to your favorite Mac and cheese.
- On Pizza – Using this low calorie sauce in place of red sauce on pizza is delicious! In the section below you can find my low calorie pizza recipe!
