Super-Sized Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients Pasta :
4 oz. uncooked spinach fettuccine
2 medium zucchini, ends removed
Ingredients Sauce:
3 tbsp. light sour cream
1 tbsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. salt
Dash black pepper
Directions:
In a medium-large pot, cook pasta per package instructions, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta, transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl, and cover to keep warm. Use a veggie peeler to peel zucchini into super-thin strips; rotate zucchini after each strip to yield a width similar to fettuccine. Place in another large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 2 - 3 minutes, until soft. Drain and blot away excess moisture. Thoroughly mix zucchini into fettuccine. Cover to keep warm. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix all sauce ingredients, breaking cheese wedges into pieces. Stir in 2 tbsp. water. Microwave at 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir and microwave at 50 percent power for 30 seconds, or until melted. Spoon sauce over pasta, and toss to coat. Microwave for 1 minute, or until hot.
