Low Carb / Low Glycemic / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
If you use the Fiber Gourmet Light Penne I used (and have a reasonable serving size), this baked penne with sausage makes a good meal for a low-carb diet. I’ve had this (along with the aforementioned pasta) all along, but I don’t believe fiber gourmet pasta is approved in South Beach, and this recipe is definitely fatty, even in South Beach.
