Low Calorie Penny Pasta Recipe
Delicious & Economical
Our Penny Pasta recipe is easy on the diet as well as easy on the budget, and will feed a small army, making it ideal for large groups and families.
Although the photo to the right didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to, the recipe sure did!
Start out by sautéing the following vegetables in a non stick pan using cooking spray or a dash of olive oil.
- 1 cup of your favorite stir fry vegetables
1 teaspoon of chopped onions
Add to one box of cooked penne pasta (easy cooking directions below). Add 1 can or jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce. Stir to combine. Transfer to a baking dish and top with 6 slices of your favorite cheese. Bake in a preheated 400° oven until cheese is bubbly.
TIP: To prepare the box of penne pasta, fill a deep bowl with water so that the pasta is covered in about 2 inches of water. Add 2 teaspoon of olive oil and stir. Place into the microwave for 20 minutes. Remove immediately and drain. Perfect pasta every time.
In Summary
Our Penny Pasta recipe contains about 2,400 calories for the entire recipe but take note that calories will vary depending upon the brand of sauce and the variety of cheese used. We used the Hunt's Original Spaghetti Sauce which contains 50 calories per 1/2 cup serving. We used muenster cheese but have also used colby and jack cheese - all of which worked wonderfully well. Opting to use skim mozzarella (60 calories per slice) can further reduce calories but it can be a bit rubbery - and difficult for some to manage.
This low calorie recipe serves six very generously - totally about 400 calories for serving, and again - these are very generous servings.
Another perk is that the Penny Pasta tends to taste even better the second day.
