Losing weight doesn't have to involve giving up delicious (carb-y) dinners! Turn oodles of noodles into a guilt-free meal with these dietitian-approved prep tricks.
Try this speedy sauce
Skip the jars, which can be full of added sugar, and instead sauté crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion and a dash of olive oil. Make enough for each person to have half a cup. Season with salt, pepper and, if you like, oregano.
Add a heaping helping...
...of veggies! For each person you're serving, you'll need at least three cups of sturdy veggies, or twice that if opting for leafy greens. Let the produce simmer in sauce until tender.
Cook pasta al dente
Don't overboil it; research shows that al dente noodles, which are a bit chewy, may help you stay fuller longer. And stick to 2⁄3 cup of cooked pasta per plate. Still hungry? Bean-based options will be most satiating (try Tolerant pastas, TolerantFoods.com).
Finish with flavor goodness
Plate the pasta and sauce and add a palm-size portion (three to four ounces) of skinless rotisserie chicken breast or cooked shrimp. Then sprinkle on a tablespoon of grated Parmesan: It's the perfect cheese, because a little goes a long way!
