I can easily get into a food rut. I tend to eat the same breakfast, which I really do love, and then rotate similar type meals in/out for lunch and dinner. Occasionally I find new recipes to try but mostly, I’m pretty boring.
While wondering the isles of Costco looking for canned soup, my husband spotted this Alfredo sauce. I scanned it and revealed it was 1/4 cup for 4 points and 1/8 cup for 2 points. I don’t like my pasta dripping with sauce so we decided to pick it up and give it a try.
The back of the label suggested using it on pizza and a brilliant idea came to mind. I love to switch out pizza sauce for “white sauce” at pizza restaurants so why not do it at home too? I made a pita pizza using a Joseph’s Pita and OMG…it was amazing.
My pita pizza came out to 7 points. I wanted to savor every bite so I cut it into six slices, and even shared one with The Hubs. I had gotten a bit too hungry in the afternoon since I was out running errands so I paired it with a huge salad. This brought my lunch to 10 points, which is a lot more than I typically have. Had I gone to an actual pizza establishment, I would have run me three times that amount. Pizza craving satisfied!
Since I am on the Purple Plan and whole wheat pasta is zero points, I knew I wanted to have this Alfredo on some pasta. Do you know how easy it is to make a single serving of pasta? So easy! (I actually made two servings)
Weight/measure out your pasta and boil it for 7-ish minutes.
Weigh/measure out your pasta sauce, any type of spread works great too and heat it up in the microwave just a smidge.
Pour your cooked pasta over it. Mix and enjoy.
It’s as easy as that! I served my Alfredo pasta with a Trader Joe’s chicken sausage and some frozen peas/carrots for an was 5 point meal.
