"Got this from Weight Watchers. One serving is 7 points. Absolutely delicious and so filling it is hard to even finish one serving. My entire family requests it regularly and they are not on Weight Watchers. It is good enough for company in my opinion."

• 2 1⁄4 lbs raw spaghetti squash

2. Combine beef, beans, garlic, onion, zucchini and mushrooms and cook on high power until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Break up meat with a fork several times during cooking.
3. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and herbs and season to taste. Cover and cook for 10 minutes more on high power.
4. With a fork, scrape out spaghetti squash to form strands. Divide squash between 4 plates and top with meat sauce.
