Delicious pasta sauce with a slight lemon taste and best of all it doesn't taste low-cal! I also appreciated the hint about sauting onion/garlic just using Pam - I didn't know you could do this without oil/butter and now I'll do it all the time, thus saving a few calories that no one will ever miss. Thanks for sharing this great pasta dish that will be on the table often in our house!
