So I bought some of the spaghetti Shirataki tofu noodles and wanted to try to make a yum and quick spaghetti for lunch. I LOVE spaghetti!!!

I made up this “recipe” on my own :) Ok, ummm…a 3 year-old could have as well :)

Spaghetti Ingredients = 3!

I used the entire package of noodles for me. They are low cal and I am hungry :) You just need to drain them. At home – easy as I have a colander. Here at work, I just cut a tiny hole in the corner of the package and squirted the water out, using a paper towel to cover the hole so as not to lose any noodles (hey – I said I am hungry!!)

Then I microwaved them in a tupperware bowl for 1 minute. Then drain again and pat try (the back of the package says we are doing this to “reduce the authentic aroma”. Hmmm…reducing aromas from food…ok (???)

Then I added 1 serving (1/2 cup) of the Prego Heart Smart sauce and 1/2 a serving (1/8 cup) of the shredded Parmesan cheese (I couldn’t find the reduced fat one so just bought normal fat type.) Mix well and then microwave again for 1 minute and voila:

Yummy, fast, cheap and healthy lunch!

This lunch is EASY! And I just tried it and it is YUMMY! The noodles were 40 cals (6 grams of carbs, 1g of fat); sauce was 90 cals and cheese 55 cals! = 185 calories for a yummy lunch!! I’m SOLD!! I am so, so, so sold on these Shirataki tofu noodles.

Now the biggest challenge will not be spilling red sauce on my cute Banana Republic dress…green and WHITE dress…

But I am SO making this for lunch on a regular basis! Would I like a piece of buttery and cheesy garlic bread to soak up the leftover saice – of course I would! But this is bikini season people :)
