Mmmm, this was soo good! I made this to take for lunch this week. I did use part skim ricotta & mozz, which increased the points value, but it was worth it. I used cherry tomatoes that I quartered, I wouldn't reccomend cutting them so small as they seemed to disappear in the sauce. The picture doesn't do it justice, try it & you'll like it. Thanks for posting, ellie!

This was an interesting take on a noodle and cheese recipe. I loved the tomatoes in the recipe and next time will add more and skip the spinach. Also, I like things that have a little spice to them, so next time will add a little kick to it. But all in all a nice lowfat alternative to mac and cheese.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
