I am back on the Weight Watchers bandwagon because I have to do something – and the macro-whatsit thingy my personal trainer had me on sucked – and did basically nothing. Not a body builder, fella – not looking to get “swol” – already “swol”- and not in a good way.
I had a recipe similar to this bookmarked but it was something like 17 SP per serving – so I tackled it with my trusty recipe calculator and got it down to 7 SmartPoints when you calculate the ingredients and points at WW.com – if you use the nutrtion on the recipe it comes out completely different – FYI. I’m going with what WW says. I Hope you like it!

melted together, remove from heat and set aside

Drain & rinse pasta just a tiny bit so they don't stick.
