Weight Watchers Stuffed Shells

JackieMarie's Note:

Received this from a meeting. Very tasty! ***I want to clarify this recipe after the 1 star rating below. I recaluclated the points on WW website for everything but the pasta. ALL the ingredients divided by 6 servings (which is 4 shells) is 2.5 pts/serving. Depending on which pasta you use, it will go up approx 2 - 3 pts which would give you a total of 4.5 - 5.5 pts/serving. Barilla pasta is 3 pts. for 5 uncooked shells (which the recipe calls for 4 shells). This recipe is DEFINATELY not 8 points. This recipe was given to me by our WW leader. Understand that weight watchers does update things and things change, but this is NOT an 8 point recipe.

Just made these and they are awesome! Only thing I did different was add more garlic powder and used italian seasoning instead of just oregano... My husband even loved them, who would have thought fat free cold taste so good!!.. Thank you very much!

4 shells = 6 PointsPlus

Looks yummy, but I would make homemade sauce also for 0 pointsplus

I tried this a while ago but forgot to write a review. I didn't think the sauce had much flavor. I also didn't care much for the filling. I thought the dish was rather bland. Sorry.
