Tossed salad with Dijon vinaigrette

Mini M & Ms (J)
______________________________________________________________
We originally got our Penne with vodka cream sauce recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook we ended up with. It has now been drastically altered, and I'm sure it's less good for you. That said, it's not nearly as bad for you as penne alla vodka you'd get in a restaurant or from a jar. It has the richness of a much more caloric dish. Also, it's very easy (as you can see it's a Friday dinner, the night when we make our grocery list and clean the kitchen before we cook - see comments on October 28 - Chipotle Mac n Cheese). Yum.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Shallots, parsley
Time: 25 - 35 minutes
Make ahead: You can make the sauce ahead.
