Restaurant Diet Shockers

We wish lasagna were the only pasta dish in need of a makeover. Check out the fat and calories in these favorites.

Spaghetti and Meatballs

You'll get the same amount of fat as you would from five 12-ounce chocolate shakes (50 grams).

Fettuccine Alfredo

This classic dish packs 47 grams of saturated fat, or eight scoops of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream.

Baked Ziti

Yikes! The calorie count is about the same as for 23 chicken nuggets (1,050 calories).

I tossed the zucchini with some thyme and garlic and pepper before adding to the skillet, was very delicious!

Hint: If you cannot find fat-free ricotta, try fat free cottage cheese and add some fat-free egg substitute to help bind the cottage cheese. I also add chopped spinach to the cottage cheese, and sometimes substitute layers of eggplant instead of noodles to cut down on carbs.
