I've been losing about 1 pound a week steadily since starting on Sonoma, and I've been eating the Barilla Plus pasta since day 1, as my whole wheat at a meal. I didn't realize until about a month ago that it had so much protien in it, another bonus. During wave 1 I would make a veggie "sauce" (I used canned sugar/salt/etc. free tomatoes to make it saucy) but I'd use onions, garlic, bell peppers, sometimes broccoli and cauliflower, zucchini, and some spinach at the end. Sometimes I ground up the spinach to make it a thicker "sauce". I usually added some fresh basil, oregano, and parsley, too. Yum. If i felt the need for more protein, I'd add some chicken, or ground turkey. It was yummy!

Ive seen this pasta on tv commercial and will try to find it at Walmart. On the WW Core plan you have to have 100% whole wheat pasta and that can be hard to find in the stores around here. I did see the semi-whole wheat pasta's at my local stores, but they have quit selling them too. Seems like Walmart is the only place to get it...barb

Jen, Sonoma is not a low carb diet. It is more of a Mediterranean (sp?) way of eating.

Cindy,
I made your version of this last night and it was FANTASTIC!
Thank you so much for the recipe.
I'll be making it again, that's for sure!
Take care,
NY Nan

Mornin'....
Barilla pasta is wonderful! DH and I had it for the first time last night. I made turkey Italian sausage with green and red peppers plus onions and used diced canned tomatoes...all poured over the pasta. DH said it looked and tasted too good to be a "diet".

I posted my Shrimp Portifino recipe on the recipe board two days go! Then I saw this thread today, and see it was originally started back in March. I giggled to myself, because I also had my inspiration from the Maccaroni Grill! Of course, this recipe looks better, as it has whipping cream... yum.

I've actually taken to the WG pasta, and it's not too bad.

The only accurate way to measure pasta is by dry weight. Look at all the different size boxes that weigh 1 pound next time you are in the pasta aisle.
