This is part one of my comfort food made light series! I am a huge fan of comfort foods. Who doesn't love pizzas, creamy dishes, stews, and casseroles?! What I am not a fan of is feeling gross and sluggish because the meal was so heavy. I have been making tons of my favorite comfort foods lighter with easy adjustments and healthier alternatives in recipes, so now I am going to share my favorites with you! This creamy Tuscan pasta is a favorite of my clients. I have been using this cream sauce for years and it tastes rich and delicious, as if it was really cream. I also used Palmini Linguine in this recipe. I have been loving Palmini because it is a pasta alternative that is made from hearts of palm, which is a vegetable. It is low calorie, low carb, and super versatile. You can use code "CLEANKITCHEN" for 10% off any Palmini products.
