Usually i'd skip the jarred pasta sauce in lieu of a quick homemade sauce made up of my favorite Italian spices and canned tomato sauce. Not only is it a low-calorie fix, it's fast and easy and low in sodium too. Sometimes there's just nothing like the original though and that's when it becomes less about substituting the product, and more about extending the use of that product to make that calorie count really worth it. #noregrets. One fantastic example is t his recipe for chicken Parmesan zoodles. My answer to days in which my mom makes her thick and creamy spaghetti and my mouth starts to water and my mind starts to spiral in jealousy. Simply grab that jar of Prego and (in season if you are lucky) a few beautiful giant zucchinis from the local farmer's market and strip away. Couple that with seasoning and Banquet's low calorie (as low as it can get, all things considered) breaded chicken patties and you've got yourself a delicious and remarkably filling lunch that will have you licking the bowl.

Tired of staring lustfully into beautiful bowls of al dente noodles? Pair with your favorite sauce and meatballs and you'll never again be caught making bedroom eyes at the spaghetti pot.
Bring down the calorie count by using Kraft Fat Free Mozzarella. Delicious and worth the effort. When slicing the zucchini, make the best use of the leftover core by chopping it into small squares. Bagged and frozen, these are a great addition to any leftover soup or broth. Let's not be wasteful of our veggies folks! Too-thin slices can also be stored and used later as zucchini noodles, perfectly paired with your favorite sauce. How? See my recipe. Don't want to make your own meatballs? Stop by subway and ask them for a meatball sandwich-hold the bread. For a few more cents you can "double" the meat and have meatballs to spare for a rainy day.
