This is really good! I like pasta, but it seems like such a heavy meal sometimes. Even my DH liked it and he is not a big pasta fan. This is from Self magazine Sept 2007. Per serving: 524 calories, 7.3g fat (1.2 saturated) 77.5 carbs, 10.3g fiber

• 12  ounces  whole wheat penne

• 1⁄4 cup  diced onion
• 1⁄2 cup  diced green bell pepper

Directions

1. Cook pasta as it says on your package.
2. Using a little vegetable oil or olive oil, pour a little in a large separate skillet and use medium-low heat. Cook the onion and pepper until tender not too crunchy, about 7 minutes.
3. Turn up the heat to medium and add turkey. Cook for 8 minutes or until it is browned all the way through.
