 This is one of the best recipes for two reasons 1- it can be thrown together in about as much time as it takes to boil a pot of pasta and 2- because it tastes WAY WORSE for you than it actually is. What makes this recipe so skinny is that it swaps fat free plain greek yogurt for heavy cream. I’ve made this recipe a dozen times, sometimes with vegetables (mushrooms work really well) and also with grilled chicken. You could make it with just about any protein, last night I made it with shrimp and snapped some pictures along the way. Bon Appetit! |
