Greek Rotini Pasta (Ww Friendly)

Submitted by KSH2514

"I have kind of adapted this recipe to my taste and to be WW friendly, and it is DELICIOUS! You can add any vegetables you like really. Use black or green olives (I don't because I don't like olives), spinach, etc.. Use your imagination and taste buds. Makes a 5 point 1-1/2 cup serving (very filling) Note: You can add feta cheese or goat cheese. It will up the calories a tad bit"
