Pasta with Herbs and Italian Chicken

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:

Fresh pasta, fresh herbs (try basil, oregano and parsley), parmesan cheese, italian marinated chicken breasts.

TO PREPARE:

Cook chicken (grill, broil or pan-fry), boil pasta. When pasta is done, toss with olive oil just to coat, chopped herbs, a tablespoon or two of parmesan cheese. If you like, lightly brown a clove or two of chopped garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil to add to pasta.

TRY SERVING WITH:

A bag of mixed green salad with chopped tomatoes and lowfat dressing.

Penne with Vegetable Marinara

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:
Penne pasta, jar of spaghetti sauce, sliced mushrooms, a green pepper, parmesan cheese. Just lightly saute the vegetables with a small splash of olive oil and some garlic (or garlic salt). Cook pasta. Add vegetables to spaghetti sauce and serve over cooked pasta; sprinkle with parmesan.

TRY SERVING WITH:

Tossed salad and whole wheat baguette.

Mushroom Ravioli

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:
Look for a refrigerated or frozen ravioli with a mushroom filling, and your favorite spaghetti sauce. (Because these are stuffed with mushrooms instead of cheese, they are much lower in fat. And it really taste good. If you don't like mushrooms, look for chicken ravioli that can also be lower in fat)

TRY SERVING WITH:

A bag of salad and breadsticks
