Really good dish! I would even add more spinach and maybe some sauteed mushrooms or any other veggies that sound good at the time. I like your idea about the chicken too! I stirred the pasta and ricotta mixture together because I was having problems layering it! Then I topped the whole thing with the spinach, sauce and mozzarella and it turned out great! The only thing is that it worked out to 5 points per serving. I had low fat ricotta instead of fat-free, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. I also used high fibre white pasta. I am not complaining about the points! The size of the serving is great for lunch and 5 points for this isn't bad at all! Made for My 3 Chefs. Thanks! :)

This was delicious, but I don't see how it could possibly be 2.5 SP's. I added up all the ingredients and it totaled up to be 6 points per serving, which is still GOOD. I just don't want someone to be misled into eating way too many points here! I used Dreamfields pasta, which is higher in fiber, but 5 cups of pasta was 35 points just by itself. SO without any other ingredients that is already 4 points per serving. Am I missing something here?
