Healthy Primavera

This is a really easy one (about 20 min max prep time) that we love, and if you are doing weight watchers, it's only 6 points for a bowlful!



-8-10 oz. Chicken

-8 oz frozen Spinach (the pre cut kind in a bag)

-1 Tomato (large one or two small ones)

-1 Tbs olive oil

-12 oz. whole wheat Pasta (I use rotinni or penne)-- about two cups worth

-1/2 cup parmesian cheese finely grated -- but not the powdered kind (if that's all you have I think it's about 1/4 cup)

- Garlic Salt and Pepper to taste



Boil chicken, drain, and cut into small pieces. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to Directions.

I cook the spinach in a bowl covered by saran wrap in the microwave (season it to before heating).

Dice the tomato.

While the pasta is still hot, toss the oil and the parmesian cheese with it and season to taste. Then toss the rest of the ingredients with it. Serve warm.

(You can also sub feta or blue cheese instead of parmesian.)

There are only about 300 cal. and 6 g of fat, with lots of fiber. This recipe makes 4 servings.
