I've been on a kick lately.
So intense has my craving been for garlic toast been lately that I've been eating it nearly every night.
It's a really low point, guilt free treat for me.
For the toast I use the Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat bread. One slice is 1 pt.
I spray the bread on both sides with olive oil spray and then add a sprinkle of garlic salt and 1 tsp of nutritional yeast to each side.
I then toast this in a skillet.
The nutritional yeast is 0 pts for the 2 tsp and it tastes like Parmesan cheese. I also use this on my popcorn. It adds a salty flavor too so you may want to decrease the amount of salt you would otherwise use.
That's a 1 pt garlic toast.
For the pasta I cook up 2 oz(dry) Barilla plus elbows(6 pts) according to package directions.
Then I added 2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese(1 pt) and 5 slices turkey pepperoni(14 slices or less= 1 pt) cut into smaller triangles.
That's 9 pts for the pasta + 1 pt for the garlic bread for a 10 pt meal.
This is the way I eat it however for those of you who want sauce I would add a no sugar added marinara over the top and adjust the points accordingly.
Compared to typical restaurant style meals this is a much lower point option.
If I weren't feeling a little tired and lazy tonight I would cook up some zero point veggies to go with it.
There are a lot of options.
Experiment and have fun with it.
Just remember you can have your pasta and eat it too!
