Baked Spaghetti (Weight Watchers Friendly) created by PalatablePastime

I adapted this from a Light & Tasty cookbook. It was so delicious that I had to put it in the fridge before it was cool just to stop myself from eating it all! For WWers, this works to 6 points per serving. I use Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil sauce to keep the calorie/fat content as low as possible. Note: WW has changed their points system several times since this is posted, and you should recalculate the points by the current system.

Delicious recipe, but TOTALLY wrong on WW points! It's actually 14 points plus... Over half my daily allowance. (Wish I had seen the other review agreeing with this before I made it.) never again.

Tried this and it was good, however I did the calculations with the nutrition facts shown and it comes to 14 points plus. I wouldn't say that it is weight watchers friendly!

This seems like a great recipe, but I'm not sure I would label it "Weight Watchers Friendly". According to the nutritional information provided, this would be 12.6 "regular" points (not PointsPlus). And 21.4 g of fat per serving (33% of your daily value!) is pretty high. I'm sure this would be great if you weren't trying to watch your waistline!
