I can never get enough pasta. But being a Weight Watcher, I have to find ways to create healthier, low-Point pasta recipes that will taste good and satisfy my carb cravings, but that will also keep me on track of my Weight Watchers program. One of my favorite food products to use when I cook is the Miracle Noodles. I’ve blogged about them many times before, but now I’ve got another super delicious low calorie recipe to share using these 0 Point pasta noodles. This pasta with mushrooms and garlic recipe is fast and easy and can be ready in 15 minutes. It’s the perfect healthy pasta recipe to serve up in a pinch. For this dish, I used their 0 calorie fettucini noodles, but you can use any shape of pasta that you want. You can also used Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta instead, if you prefer, for an additional Point Value (see recipe note).

Light Pasta with Mushrooms and Garlic Recipe

When you are in a pinch to make a tasty meal with little prep time, Crock Pot Recipes are the way to go! They are so fast and easy, and taste so amazingly moist and delicious. This Crock Pot Chicken Parisienne Weight Watchers Recipe is one of my all time favorites! The white wine adds such incredible flavor to the dish and makes it taste so gourmet. It’s rich and creamy and absolutely decadent. This chicken recipe is actually a pretty traditional slow cooker recipe that’s been around for a while, but I revamped it to make it lower in calories and Weight Watchers Points, yet without sacrificing any of the fabulous taste. I like to prepare this dish and then serve it over top of some Miracle Noodle Fettucine Noodles, which add 0 Points because it’s a 0 calorie pasta! So it provides a great way to bulk up the dish without adding on any extra Points! Besides, that Parisienne Sauce is just too good to waste!! Trust me when I tell you that this dish is so fabulous NO ONE will have any idea that’s part of a collection of Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipes. It just tastes too good to be healthy and diet friendly!

I first had this omelet at a nearby restaurant that I love, and it was SO beyond delicious, that I was determined to make a healthier, Weight Watchers friendly version of it. And I was successful! This spinach and mushroom omelet recipe is to DIE for! Packed with fiber and protein, it makes an excellent Weight Watchers Momentum Plan Recipe, and it’s full of vitamins and antioxidants too! Plus, it tastes so amazingly good, no one will have any idea that this is a Weight Watchers Recipe! I’m really a big fan of omelet recipes because there’s so much you can do with them and there are a variety of different ways you can prepare them. But this one is my hands down favorite. Traditionally, I’ve used shredded cheddar cheese in any cheese omelet recipe I’ve made, but the discovery of using cream cheese in this omelet gave me a whole new level of excitement for omelet love! Egg recipes are great for dieters too because of the high level of protein, and low amount of calories (particularly if you stick with egg whites). That’s why this one is a perfect Momentum Plan recipe — the high level of protein (from the egg, cheese, mushroom and spinach) and the great amount of fiber (from the mushrooms and spinach) will really help tame your appetite and keep you feeling full longer, all while being incredibly good for you!

Weight Watchers Spinach and Mushroom Omelet Recipe (Momentum Plan)

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/4 cup spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp low fat cream cheese**
- 1/4 cup salsa

** Instead of cream cheese, I prefer to use Labane Cheese. It’s lower in fat and calories and has a really nice bold flavor! You can usually find this at Kosher grocery stores.

Directions:
Spray a non stick skillet with non fat cooking spray and preheat to a medium high temp. In a bowl, whisk egg whites, salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Then, add the egg mixture to the skillet. After adding the eggs to the hot pan, keep them moving by constantly pushing the cooked portions to the side so the runny part runs to the side. Loosen the omelet from the bottom of the pan with a spatula if necessary, so it slides easily. The eggs should be nearly cooked, but still wet, before filling and folding. They will continue to cook even when removed from the heat. Spread the cream cheese over the surface before filling and folding. Spread filling down the center. Fold it in half, just lift one side up and over the filling to match the opposite side. Continue cooking a bit longer until the center is fully set. Top with salsa and enjoy!!

Serving size is one full omelet.

To make pizzas, spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each tortilla; sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of oregano. Top each with 1 slice of cheese that has been torn into pieces, 1 teaspoon of Parmesan and 1/4 of vegetable mixture. Place pizzas on grill or grill pan (you may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your grill pan), and cook until edges begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes; rotate pizza. Continue cooking until cheese is bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes more.

Not too long ago, I reviewed Miracle Noodle – a zero calorie noodle that can currently be ordered only online. I’ve been a big fan of the House Foods Shirataki Noodles for a long time now, and anything that can beat those was totally worth trying! So I got my hands on some Miracle Noodles, and here, as promised, here is my very first Miracle Noodle recipe! My own creation — a diet friendly, low calorie Orzo Recipe made with Miracle Noodle’s Orzo Pasta, which has zero calories! As soon as I heard about this miracle food, I was dying to give it a try. I mean a zero calorie noodle? It was too good to be true. Granted, it doesn’t taste exactly like regular pasta, but hey, compromising a bit of taste for a ton of calories is totally worth it in my book!

Cheesy Spinach Mushroom Orzo Recipe

Ingredients:
2 bags of the Miracle Noodle Orzo Pasta
3/4 cup of chopped spinach (I used frozen, but fresh will work well too – just wilt it first)
1/2 cup of chopped or diced fresh mushrooms
1/2 can of Campbell’s Reduced Fat Cream of Mushroom Soup
3.5 ounces of fresh grated Parmesan cheese
A dash of Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

* Feel free to add or substitute a variety of different vegetables such as asparagus, bell peppers, peas or zucchini.

Directions:
Drain and rinse the orzo pasta in a colander, and pat dry. Prepare your spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, defrost and squeeze dry first. If you are using fresh spinach, saute it first until it wilts. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the orzo pasta, the mushrooms and the spinach. Mix in the mushroom soup, salt and pepper. Once thoroughly combined, microwave the dish on high for about 3 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir. When ready, stir in the Parmesan immediately. Put back in the microwave and cook on high for another 3 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is melty. When done cooking give it one last stir and enjoy!
