So night before last I made my husbands newest favorite dish, compliments of The Pioneer Woman (Three cheese stuffed shells) but the “healthy version. Click on the link above to get the full fat version. Below are the conversions I used to knock this down a notch!
| Instead of: | I used: |
| Whole milk ricotta cheese | Part skim milk ricotta cheese |
| Regular parmesan cheese | Reduced fat parmesan cheese |
| Regular Romano cheese | Reduced fat Romano cheese |
| Regular Italian sausage | Reduced fat ground sausage |
| Regular sugar | Splenda |
| Regular mozzarella cheese | Fat Free mozzarella cheese |
Some might say that this takes away from the ewey gewey goodness but I didn’t feel like I was missing out on a thing!
I also made a baguette loaf and some bruschetta Fresca and you can click here to get that recipe. It is also so yummy!
How did your bruschetta turn out? That's one of my favorites particularly with home grown tomatoes. Hurry up Summer! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! Of course homegrown tomatoes are so much better :0) but it is the easiest thing to make, just find a good ripe tomato from your local farmers market and use fresh mozarella and your good.
ReplyDeleteInstead of the sausage, I used thick sliced ham from the deli (then chopped into little squares) and thinly sliced cucumbers. OMG so good!
ReplyDeleteYUM that change sounds good! I will have to try that next time because I'm not a huge fan of sausage like the guys are.
