I forgot the spaghetti sauce, or rather didn't see it. It was very tasty, and very filling, so maybe it doesn't need it. It isn't kidding when it says hearty. More cheese would be more to my taste. Next time I will try sausage, I think that will complement the veggies well. The artichoke hearts were a tad salty, I'll maybe leave out a couple next time. I calculated 3 WW pts.
