Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

I was able to lower this recipe's calorie count and upping its nutritional value a little bit by substituting light sour cream for the half & half, using whole grain pasta, and adding some fresh spinach to the sauce. It was really good! Even my picky kids liked it, which says alot.
