If you launch the butter and cream, use very little olive oil and a little flour instead for the sauced you could lower the calories on this dish. - 7/28/09

You can def. cut the butter and use nonstick cooking spray but I'd keep the cream to flavor the sauce. Also, this is based on about a two cup serving. If you have a one cup serving, you are likely to be full and cut the calories in half. Enjoy.
