Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

This is basically the recipe on the back of the pasta package, with a few tweaks to make it friendlier for our waists.

I borrowed this recipe from myrecipes.com and made a couple of minor changes. It's fantastic!! And, it's even better as leftovers the next day.

Tired of the same old red sauce from a jar? Try this instead.

Cheesy, rich, delicious--just what you expect in macaroni and cheese. What you won't expect? 2/3 the fat and half the calories of the original!

Butternut squash helps slim down this macaroni and cheese. You can't taste it, and it boosts the nutritional value of the dish!

Even a lunch portion of fettuccine Alfredo has 800 calories and 48 grams of fat. Mine has less than 1/2 the calories, 1/5 the fat, and plenty of veggies, too.

The orginial recipe came from Sara Snow's Living Fresh show on Discovery Health. Well, after I calculated the calories on this crazy recipe, it came out to 995.7 calories per serving! I do NOT think that's "healthy". So, I've ligthened it up the best way I know - LESS cheese (who on earth needs 5.5 cups of ricotta cheese in their lasagna???). I'm using HALF the amounts of cheese called for in the original recipe, plus opting for part-skim ricotta over whole milk ricotta. I also reduced the amount of eggs. These simple modifications brought the calories per serving down from the nightmareish 995.7 to a more reasonable dinner-size 582.6 per serving. Enjoy!

This is definitely NOT the bastardized cream-of-mushroom-soup based American version of stroganov, but the real Russian flavor! Add cooked cubed steak if you prefer your Stroganov with meat.
