This was a really nice and subtle combination of flavors! I used half and half successfully here. I prepared the entire package of pasta but after it was cooked and as I added it into the rest of the meal, I didn't feel I needed quite all of it so I reserved a couple of prepared cups for another meal. I decided to add a sprinkling of grated romano cheese just before serving to each portion.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
