I had Fiber Gourmet&#8217;s penne in the cupboard (130 calories for 2 ounces and 18 grams of fiber). I go to Giada for Italian inspiration. I found her scampi and couscous recipe on FoodNetwork.com<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/giada-de-laurentiis\/scampi-on-couscous-recipe\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/giada-de-laurentiis\/scampi-on-couscous-recipe\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She used 1\/2 cup extra virgin olive oil. (I could feel the oil on my lips and my hips) SO&#8230;\u00a0 I used 1\/2 teaspoon of olive oil to saute the onions and garlic. And substituted vegetable broth for the olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>I have attached my lightened recipe.<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil<br \/>\n1 small onion, chopped<br \/>\n3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed<br \/>\n2 (8 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes in their juice<br \/>\n1 (8ounce) bottle clam juice<br \/>\n1\/4 cup dry white wine<br \/>\n1 cup vegetable<br \/>\n4 oz of Fiber Gourmet pasta<br \/>\n1 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined<br \/>\n1 lemon, juiced<br \/>\n1 tablespoon red pepper flakes<br \/>\nIn a large pot, start water for pasta.<\/p>\n<p>In a large pot, heat 1\/2 teaspoon olive oil. Add onion, and 1 clove smashed garlic and saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and their juice, clam juice and white wine. Bring to a boil and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes, uncovered. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.\u00a0 Add a couple of tablespoons of water if needed &#8211; you want to end up with a chunky sauce (can puree in a food processor to eliminate the chunkiness). Check for seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>Add 1 cup of vegetable stock. Reduce heat and let rest for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet sprayed with PAM, add the 2 cloves of minced garlic. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp and stirring occasionally, cook the shrimp until they start to turn pink, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will become tough. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice, red pepper. Check for seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, plate the pasta in a large bowl and place the shrimp on top.<\/p>\n<p>I cut Giada&#8217;s version by 400 calories and saved 26 grams of fat!!<\/p>\n<p>My picky husband liked it, too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hnetalk.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-893\" src=\"http:\/\/hnetalk.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"255\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love Giada DeLaurentis!
