Enjoy!

  Tips for the Kitchen:

  When using fresh herbs, frequently you don't need the entire amount you purchased. Take the left overs, wash and pat dry and then freeze in a freezer bag. For small leafed herbs like parsley and cilantro, you can chopped before freezing. For larger leafed herbs like basil, you can freeze whole and then just crumble frozen to use; alternately chop before freezing.
  
  
  There are a lot of pasta sauces out there and some are even lite. But the one with the least amount of points and still delicious is Healthy Choice. I used to be able to get the Mediterranean Style, but can't find that anymore. I liked that best, but the others are good too - only 1/2 pt per serving.
