Does anyone have a really low fat pasta recipe?

Question

Preferably with a cheesy sauce.

Answer 1

I don't know how low in fat it would be, but tortellini with an alfredo sauce, or fetticini w/ shrimp and low fat 4-cheese alfredo sauce, it's so delicious!

Answer 2

low fat with cheese - oh come on!!

try tomato sauce, all you need is a little olive oil (good fat), 8 basil leaves, a pinch of sugar, 1/4 onion, 1/2 garlic bulb, 425g tin of tomatoes,salt and pepper to taste (italians add a lot of salt - at least 1/2 teaspon)

heat the oil fry the onion and then add the rest and cook for 20 mins - - mix in the pasta and cook together for a bit so the pasta takes on the flavour, you can serve and grate some really strong parmesan on top to satisfy your taste buds!!

Answer 3

this is an easy to make and a very tasty lowfat and low budget recipe.
boil pasta,when soft throw half of the water from the pot and let it simmer in low heat,add chopped onions,garlic and bell pepper.simmer for sometime to get the taste even.if you want you can include more vegetables and stuffs but i just stick onto this.after a while add tuna,canned tuna is fine, or boiled sausages or bacon cut to pieces will also do ok,when the water gets less add half cup of full cream milk and a spoonful of cream cheese or just ordinary cheese of any type. cook till the sauce gets gooey,serve it hot,so just prepare it when you are ready to eat.

Answer 4

"Cheesy" and "low fat" do not go together.... sprinkle plenty of grated parmesan (low fat) on your marinara-topped pasta.


Rao's Marinara Sauce

2 (28 ounce) cans imported Italian plum tomatoes with basil (preferably those labeled San Marzano )
1/4 cup fine-quality olive oil
2 ounces fatback or salt pork, optional
3 tablespoons minced onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
Salt and pepper (to taste)
6 leaves fresh basil, torn, optional
Pinch dried oregano

Remove tomatoes from the can, reserving the juice in which they are packed. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes, gently remove and discard the hard core from the stem end, and remove and discard any skin and tough membrane. Set aside.

Put oil in a large, non-reactive saucepan over medium-low heat. If using fatback, cut it into small pieces and add to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until all fat has been rendered. Remove and discard fatback.

Then add onion. Sauté for 3 minutes or until translucent and just beginning to brown. Stir in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until just softened. Stir in tomatoes, reserved juice, and salt. Raise heat, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook for about 1 hour or until flavors have combined and sauce is slightly thickened. (If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook for an additional 15 minutes).

Stir in basil, oregano, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and serve.
