Here’s a variation of an earlier recipe using zucchini and ham I posted (see Useful Links below the recipe), only this time I tried a different meat and veggie, and tweaked the flavors a bit. It’s still low calorie and low fat and a nice casual family dinner. As a saucy one dish meal it’s a comfort food unto its own yet one far less diet-damaging than typical Alfredo dishes. A good recipe to use up leftover rotisserie chicken or roast turkey.

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon marjoram, crushed

        Pasta is what my kid and I enjoy. We try every type of pasta that we get to see in different resto. She is just as crazy with it as i am.
