A light healthy alternative to pasta...this dish is full of color and flavor!! Tastes great with or without the shrimp. Goes great with home-made garlic bread, or bruchetta toast for dipping

This sounds great. I don't think we have the Dream Fields pasta around here. Is it just the brand of pasta or is it a light version?

Thanks,
Cathy


Dreamfields is a lower carb pasta....a lot of diabetics use it. It tastes really good..some people like it much better than whole wheat....but you can use whole wheat linguine from your favorite brand!


Thanks for the info, can't wait to try.

Whole wheat pasta tastes like cardboard to me but Dream Fields is ok.
Love your recipe!
