Notes

How to serve this recipe:

  1. Over Pasta – I like the wider noodles like fettuccini, though spaghetti or even penne will work great.
  2. As a Dip – Dip your favorite crunchy veggies for a healthy snack!
  3. Over Chicken – You don’t even need the pasta… Just pour this healthy sauce over chicken for a delicious meal.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
