Recipe for Fettucine Alfredo from Biggest Loser

Just saw this on an email from Prevention (I think), and it sounds pretty good. Worth considering if you love fettucine like I do.

(Nov. 8, 2005) -- Reality television dieters Shannon, Andrea, and Suzy endured challenges, temptations, and televised weigh-ins in order to become the three female finalists on NBC's hit show, The Biggest Loser.

While their drive and perseverance may have elevated them to superhero status to the 10 million people watching, these ladies still had to confront the very mortal challenge of learning to cook healthy (and delicious) recipes for themselves and their families.

Below, the three women share with us some of their favorite Biggest Loser recipes from the ranch.

Suzy's Fettucine Alfredo
1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
1 Laughing Cow Light Herb
and Garlic cheese
2-4 Tbsp crushed garlic

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (to taste)
2 Tbsp light Parmesan cheese
4 4-oz cooked chicken breasts
4 c broccoli, steamed


1. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. 2. Remove seeds with a spoon or fork. 3. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and put both halves in microwave for 6-11 minutes, depending on size. 4. Remove squash halves from microwave, let sit with wrap on for 1-2 minutes. 5. Put Laughing Cow cheese in bottom of large bowls and smoosh it around. 6. Scrape out insides of squash gently with a fork and put in bowl on top of cheese. 7. Add garlic and stir ingredients well. 8. While stirring, add butter spray to help blend ingredients. 9. Slowly sprinkle Parmesan cheese and stir. 10. Add cooked chicken breasts and steamed broccoli and voila-- fettucine Alfredo!
