Angel Pasta with Chicken

I love Alfredo sauce and pasta. It is so rich and creamy! Unfortunately, that rich creaminess is exactly what makes it unhealthy for you. I found this spin on Alfredo Pasta called Angel Pasta that gives you all the rich creaminess but less calories and fat content. In a 1 cup serving there are 460 calories and 17 grams of fat. It is made in the slow cooker which helps create a more complex flavor in an otherwise simple dish. If you like mushrooms, this is a great recipe to sneak them in the sauce.
