Many of you know that I am a huge fan of spaghetti squash. I eat it at least once a week. It’s a great pasta alternative. I was getting bored of paring it with marinara sauce, so tonight I went a different direction with it. I took it Olive Garden Style!
About three years ago, I used to go to Olive Garden with my mom every time we would make a trip to Des Moines for shopping. I would always without hesitation order the Fettuccine Alfredo! I’m sure many of you would agree, theirs is the best! Now when I go to Olive Garden, I order the unlimited minestrone soup and salad with the dressing on the side. And this is why…Olive Garden’s fettuccine Alfredo has 1200 calories and over 75 g of fat per serving! I know I could order and eat half, but who does that? I don’t want the temptation.
Tonight, I got to relive those Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo days with a much lighter and healthier version!
Here is the recipe…
Ingredients:
-Four Cups Cooked Spaghetti Squash (1 Large Squash)
-1/2 Cup Newman’s Own All Natural Alfredo Sauce
