Chef Meg added flavor with parsley and capers to cut the salt, reduced the cooking time and used hearty plum tomatoes instead of canned.

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.

A much quicker version of the Italian classic; less time, but no less taste.

I love rich, cheesy lasagna, but in the summer when vegetables are at their peak, cheese overwhelms the dish. Adding plenty of fresh vegetables to your regular lasagna for a healthy, light summer supper. Omit any vegetables you don't like, and swap for what you've got in your fridge. (Add spinach or any other green, more fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, chopped and steamed broccoli or asparagus... the possibilities are endless.)

meatless pasta

The recipe is from allrecipes.com, but I changed it to be more healthier. Used ground turkey and italian seasoning instead of italian sausage and whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta and decreased the amt. of cheese used.
