Herb & Toasted Almond Spaghetti Skillet
This is a great alternative to red sauce or white Alfredo style sauce on your spaghetti pasta. Buy low-fat cottage cheese and you’ll have a figure-friendly spaghetti that the whole family will enjoy.
Use fresh or dried herbs, but just remember if the herbs are dried, use about half as much. Taste test before you add more.
