Healthy Recipe Thursday: Taco Pasta Salad

I love anything Mexican, so when I saw this recipe for Taco Pasta Salad, I was interested. If you use whole wheat pasta this recipe wouldn’t be too bad for you. There’s no way I’d ever make and eat it with regular pasta because it would use up way too many points. (I’ve tried the whole weight pasta, but I can’t stomach it.)

On that note, I did find some pasta at the grocery store a few weeks ago that’s called Smart Taste. It’s white pasta, but it is loaded with fiber. One serving (of the Rotini) has 180 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 6 grams of dietary fiber. That’s 3 Weight Watchers points for a 2-ounce serving size. Not too bad. Best of all, this pasta tastes great. I’ve started using it for spaghetti, and my kids can’t tell the difference.
