MY LOW-FAT CHICKEN PESTO PASTA

Keeping on the healthy side with this dish also. Saw it in a magizene at the Dr's office and ask if I could copy it off to take home with me. The nurses were so nice that they made me a copy and I made it that night. Tonight I altered it a little by adding spinach, canned diced tomatoes instead of the pesto and cherry tomatoes. It turned out just as good. Both dishes are very tasty. The best thing is the recipe states that using regular ingredients the calories are 1535 with 103 grams of fat. Making the recipe this way you get 10 grams of fat and 385 calories. Big difference. Shared w/neighbor
