I have a YUMMY pasta recipe I made tonight!
I have 7 children so I made a rather large batch of this, it can be reduced quite a bit I'm sure! Also, I didn't measure the dressing when I made it, but these are approx measurements.
I entered all the ingredients in my fit day and then used the total nutrition divided by 6. But as I mention at the bottom, you can stretch this into a full meal by adding salad greens to your plate and mix.
Egg Noodles, boiled, rinsed - 6 cups
Shrimp, steamed or boiled - 1 cup defrosted fully-cooked shrimp
Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing - 1/2 cup
Wishbone Italian dressing - 1/4 cup
Pepper, sweet, green, raw - 1/2 cup chopped
Onions, white, raw - 1/4 cup chopped
Tomatoes, raw - 1 cup diced
Cucumber, raw - 1 cup diced
Parmesan Cheese - 1/4 cup fresh shredded
pickles, dill - 1 cup chopped
The combination of Ranch and Italian dressings sounds odd, but is VERY good!
My son is a budding chef at a ritzy restaurant in town and the head chef told me about it when I commented on their YUMMY pasta!
Maybe make it even leaner with low fat dressings?
Mix all ingredients except tomatoes and dressings in a large bowl.
Next add Ranch dressing and stir well, salad should look sort of dry,
Now add Italian dressing till moistened.
Finally, add tomatoes and lightly toss.

I made it as a side dish and had only 1 cup, but my husband had a whole serving and then added a bunch of lettuce!
Very good way to stretch out your calories!!
