Tips & Tricks
I like to use two different flavored blocks of Boursin cheese.
I tried a completely different kind of pasta this time around. I had recently heard of something called shirataki noodles. They are made from water and konjac flour. They are extremely low-calorie. We are talking like 15 calories per serving. They don't have a very distinct flavor, and the consistency is a bit chewy. They're definitely an acceptable alternative for pasta, in my opinion.
It Was Delicious
Mine and my friend's dogs really wanted to taste test for us. We gave them a nibble of bread, it's the price we pay for their love.
Definitely try this recipe, it is so easy and delicious. Downloadable pdf linked below.
