Hi Guys,
So, here is my pasta dish. I created this dish with a friend the other night, but it was so good and easy that it went perfectly with my soup tonight :-)
Like I said before, what I love about WW is you do not have to shun away from carbs!!
Here are the deets on the recipe:
- One serving of Whole Wheat Penne Rigate (I like Ronzoni Healthy Harvest) = 3 WW pts.
- Salt, to salt the pasta water
- 1/2 container of Grape or Cherry Tomatos = 0 WW pts.
- Frozen Spinach (use as much as you like, I used about a handful) = 0 WW pts.
- 2 Tablespoons of freshly grated Garlic = O WW pts.
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (as much as you want) = O WW pts.
- 1 Teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil = 1 WW pt.
Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a pot
- Add salt to the boiled water, then add the pasta
- While the pasta is cooking, in a sautee pan, add a ladleful of the boiling pasta water
- Add the Grape/Cherry tomatos and sautee till they burst
- Add the Spinach, Red Pepper Flakes, and grated Garlic, sautee for another minute (add more pasta water if needed)
- Add the EVOO
- Once the pasta has fully cooked, add this to the sautee pan and toss
- Enjoy your 4 point pasta dinner :-)
What did you guys have for dinner?
You know Kanwal, maybe you should go in with Weight Watchers and write a book....I have printed out four of your recipes and going to print this one. I LOVE pasta salad and this one sounds so good. You say frozen spinach - did you use frozen spinach that's sold in a bag? I have always bought it frozen in boxes. Thanks, Carol
ReplyDeleteHey Carol,
ReplyDeleteYou are really sweet! Thank you. I did use frozen spinach in the bag. I find it is easier to use, rather than buying the box, then defreezing the whole thing, when you really don't want to use the whole box.
I am feeling hungry just reading your post!
