Pasta with Butternut Parmesan Sauce

Pasta with Butternut Parmesan Sauce
This is a great dish for vegetarians or someone who loves squash (like me)!

The ingredient swaps:
  • Instead of 8 ounces of bow-tie pasta, I used 8 ounces of wheat bow-tie pasta.
  • I omitted the 1 tablespoon of olive oil and used cooking spray instead.
  • Instead of 1/2 cup of packed, freshly grated parmesan cheese, I used fat free grated parmesan cheese.
  • Instead of 1/2 cup of heavy cream, I used 1/4 cup of fat free milk and 1/4 cup of fat free evaporated milk.
To make it easier, I used frozen butternut squash instead of a fresh squash, as it was already cut and peeled.

If you are following Weight Watchers, this recipe makes four servings that are 7Points Plus each.
