I love Italian food, but pasta sort of works my last nerve. I spend all this time preparing and cooking it, and three bites later, I am completely full for 20 minutes or so. It pisses me off. Screw you, pasta, and the noodle horse you rode in on. I have also been looking for a healthier way to make crispy and bread

Ruby Tuesday's "Fresh Chicken & Broccoli Pasta." Thanks to its Parmesan cream sauce and layer of melted cheese, the 2,060 calories and 128 grams of fat make it the equivalent of two 12-ounce sirloin steaks, two buttered baked potatoes and two Caesar salads. CSPI call this dish "Angioplasta."

Pasta primavera is an Italian dish that consists of pasta and fresh vegetables. A meat such as chicken, sausage or shrimp can be added if desired, but the focus of primavera is the vegetables themselves. Any array of vegetables that is desired can be added, but cooks tend to stick to firm, crisp vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, peas, onions and green bell peppers, with tomatoes. Refreshing and low in fat, pasta primavera is usually highlighted by light flavors, aromatic spices and bright colors ('primavera' meaning spring, the season). Classic primavera is supported by the 'classic' Italian mirepoix of garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Though recipes for cold pasta primavera may be found, they are best classified as antipasti, or appetizers.Pastas served with this dish are typically smaller shapes, such as penne, farfalle, rigatoni and fusilli. If using longer types of spaghetti such as fettuccine, vegetables should be sliced in thin strips to match the texture of the noodles.
