Skinny 3 Cheese Penne

The hubby and I have been trying to eat healthier recently. We don’t eat really unhealthy but I like all things casseroles and pasta which can be really heavy. As you can tell from my blog name, Love, Pasta and a Tool Belt, I love pasta. It’s my staple food. When I found this low calorie recipe for Skinny 3 Cheese Penne I was really excited. What was more exciting was that it was low calorie while also tasting delicious. It’s also perfect for a meatless meal which I’ve been trying to incorporate once a week to save a little money.
