Healthy Pasta Dinner Ideas

No matter your diet, you can enjoy a fabulously rich and delicious pasta dinner! The following ingredient swaps will help you make this one pot creamy mushroom pasta that fits into any healthy eating plan:

• Swap Neufchatel for cream cheese
  • One package of cream cheese has about 800 calories, 72 grams of fat (48 are saturated), & 240 mg of cholesterol. Neufchatel cheese has 560 calories, 48 grams of fat (32 are saturated), & 160 mg of cholesterol.
• Use half and half instead of heavy cream
  • Half and half has less calories than heavy cream – and less fat – but more carbs. If you’re watching calories and fat, opt for half and half. If you’re watching carbs, go for heavy cream.
• Add a healthy protein.
  • Grilled chicken, steak, seafood (salmon and shrimp), or even tofu are a fabulous addition to this easy one pot pasta.
• Swap Zucchini Noodles ( Zoodles ) for Pasta
  • • Zoodles (spiralized zucchini noodles) are an excellent low carb and low calorie swap for pasta – and are delicious in this recipe! Simply spiralize two zucchinis and add to dish when you would add fresh (not dry) pasta. Cook to slightly softened and serve!

Tips To Making Perfect One Pot Creamy Tuscan Mushroom Linguine Recipe :

• Caramelize onions and mushrooms.
  • To bring out the most flavor from this dish, let the onions brown and soften fully before adding pasta or cream to the dish. This develops the rich meaty flavor that makes this one pot pasta dinner so unforgettable!
• Prevent Cream Sauce from Breaking.
  • Turn stove off when adding heat into dish and whisk vigorously – this will help prevent your sauce from breaking. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep a cream sauce from separating, this tip is perfect!
• Use fresh pasta.
  • I prefer using fresh pasta (not dried – the kind you get in your grocer’s chilled deli case instead of the dried pasta in boxes) – it cooks faster and soaks up sauce perfectly!
• Don’t overcook pasta or zoodles.
  • If using zoodles or with regular pasta, a little bit of bite to the noodles tastes the best – don’t overcook them and let them turn to mush!
