Simple switches like using whole wheat pasta instead of refined and olive oil instead of butter make it easy to "trade-up" this quick dinner.
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package Meijer whole wheat angel hair pasta (NuVal™ Score 91)
1 tub (10 oz.) Philadelphia Reduced Fat Savory Garlic Cooking Crème
1/2 (16 ounce) package Meijer frozen broccoli florets, thawed (NuVal™ Score 100)

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (NuVal™ Score 71)

Directions:
1) Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2) Meanwhile, place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
