Cheesy Shrimp Pasta

One of my all time favorite dishes is Shrimp Pasta from Red Lobster. And I had a craving for it tonight. So I tried to re-create it as close as possible but a little healthier. I used these ingredients to make 1 serving:

3oz Shrimp, pre-cooked without tails

1oz Healthy Harvest whole grain spaghetti

10oz bag of frozen steamfresh broccoli florets

1 Laughing Cow Light Cheese

1 tbsp Fat Free Cream Cheese

.25 cup Italian Shredded Cheese

To assemble: I cooked the steamfresh broccoli in the microwave. Then I boiled water on the stove. I added the spaghetti to the boiling water. The last 5 minutes of the spaghetti cooking time, I added the shrimp to the pot. When it as done, I drained the spaghetti and shrimp. I put the spaghetti, shrimp, broccoli, laughing cow cheese and cream cheese in an oven safe bowl. Mixed it together until the cheese melted. Then I sprinkled the shredded cheese on top. I put the bowl in the oven and heated it until the cheese as melted and the whole dish was piping hot!!

It was delicious! I was very satisfied!!!! The whole bowl came to 412 calories!!!

In comparison an order of Shrimp Linguini from Red Lobster is 1100 calories! (Per the R.L. website) WOW!!

Quick Pasta!

So I realize I make a lot of these but they are just so darn good and easy to make!! I have not been to the grocery store since we came back from being out of town this weekend but I had everything on hand to make a quick pasta bowl for dinner tonight. My bowl consisted of:

5oz Broccoli, steamed

3oz grilled chicken breast

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1/2 cup cheese tortellini

1 light laughing cow cheese

My bowl cost me a cool 300 calories!!
