'Albino' Pasta

If I was going to die tomorrow morning and could choose anything at all to eat as my last meal, it might very well be a heaping dish full of fetticini alfredo. The creamiest white sauce, the most succulent cheesy flavor ... mmm. With a points value of 17, however, that really is something I would only eat if I were going to die tomorrow (or maybe if it was my birthday!). Fetticini alfredo is one of my most favorite meals in the world and since joining Weight Watcher's I've been hard pressed to find something nearly as good.

'Albino' pasta is no fetticini alfredo. But it is delicious in an understated sort of way, and you'll find yourself looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch.
