Creamy Zucchini Pesto Pasta with Chicken Recipe
Last night there was just a slight chill in the air enough so that it was the perfect excuse to make a warm, creamy pasta dish for dinner. And maybe just cold enough to sit and eat said pasta dish in front of the TV watching shows I am too embarrassed to admit I like. You all know the kind, that you secretly watch and pray no one walks in the door. Both because you don’t want to be caught, but also because you don’t want to miss a moment. Do you have those shows? My list is way too long. But back to the pasta. This simple dish combines yummy spinach noodles (you can use any high fiber noodle) with chicken, homemade pesto, and zucchini. A touch of cream cheese and water from cooking the pasta add just the right amount of creaminess and it is still under 300 calories for a hearty 1 1/2 cup serving.
