Lighter Vegetable Alfredo Pasta

I am a true believer that just because you're trying to lose weight doesn't mean you need to live on salad, grilled chicken, and almonds. In fact I could never stick to a weight loss program if it didn't allow for me to have creamy pasta like this! To keep this meal lighter I used a low fat sauce, loaded it with a whole skillet of veggies, and tossed it was pasta. I mean really... can you say delicious?? John and I were both really into this meal. The best part was that since I was using a jarred sauce this really took no time at all. I think the whole meal came together in the time it took for the pasta to cook. Can't beat that can you?
