Don't let the title of today's recipe fool you into thinking it's loaded with fat and calories. Even though it contains a light cream sauce, this pasta dish is approximately 400 calories and 16 grams of fat per serving, which is not bad for a cream based pasta.
Fortunately, it tastes just as good as when you treat yourself to a creamy (and fatty) restaurant pasta. However, in this case you don't have to take home a doggy bag filled with guilt.
