Im dubbing this the official H.O.T.T meal. For the pasta Im going to keep a tally of how many calories it has today, because I am eating this right at this very moment, and if you tasted it you would not believe that it is so little calories. For this meal, Im combining last nights Fantastic Garlic Bagels with tonights Turkey, Greens and Philly Pasta.
A little background on my weekend, Trent’s homecoming was this weekend, and in true Student Style (see, healthy student 
) a little beer was in order. However, feeding three people is not as easy as you might think, especially three very hungry, slightly inebriated people. So, last night I cooked up a batch of my homemade Pasta sauce and the best garlic bread I think I’ve ever made. That recipe is below here, because it deserves a blog all to itself. Tonight, my recovery and comfort dinner is of course pasta, but I decided to experiment. Its grocery week, and Im scrounging for ideas, but it seems I stumbled on something incredible. I wanted to call it HEY-I cooked-with-Philly-like-Albert pasta… but you can see why Ive chosen not to haha, so lets dub this Creamy turkey and wilted greens pasta. Clearly Im on a wilted greens kick, but when you have a 5L bin of something, you make due! Follow along and Eat well!
Creamy Turkey and Wilted Greens Pasta
Total calories for this Meal: 236 calories**Let me put this into perspective. This meal is 236 calories, everything is fresh and it tastes homemade. A Lean Cuisine (which I do eat for lunches to maintain my diet) has calorie counts anywhere from 240 – 300+ calories. **
4 loosely packed Mesculine Mix – 0 calories
2 cloves Garlic, chopped – 0 calories
3TBSP Olive Oil - 50 calories
100g or 1/2 cup dried pasta of choice (per person) – 120 calories
1/2 cup Turkey Breast, chopped little – 26 calories
2TBSP Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese – 40 calories
1TSP oregano,
Salt and pepper to taste
In a frying pan, heat oil and garlic together. Add turkey and cook until everything is heated thoroughly. Add the mesculine mix and cook until everything is warmed through, and the mesculine is just slightly wilted. You want the mesculine to still be slightly uncooked, because the pasta will make it wilt even further. When this mixture is ready, transfer to a bowl and let sit while you use the same pan to heat the Cream Cheese into a warm sauce. Add the turkey and mesculine back into the frying pan and stir until the cream cheese is thoroughly mixed in. Add oregano, salt and pepper. When your pasta is ready, strain and add to frying pan, mixing well. Serve Hot.
Garlic Bread Bagels
3 cloves chopped garlic
3TBSP margrine or butter
1TSP each Pepper and Oregano
3 Bagel halves, Toasted
1/2cup Grated Mozzerella
While bagels are toasting, mix together garlic, margerine, pepper, and oregano in a bowl. Slather the margerine mix on the bagels thick, and cover each in grated cheese. Pop in them into the microwave until the cheese is melted. Serve hot!
So come on and have dinner with me tonight, the more the merrier!
