Notes

Click here to determine your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe (if you are logged in to your WW app, it should calculate for you automatically). Serving size is 1 heaping cup. The recipe is calculated using regular spaghetti, so using whole wheat or GF pasta may alter your points slightly.
WW Green and Blue SmartPoints: 4 for 1 heaping cup. When you measure our your serving, make sure you get a pretty much equal ratio of pasta and veggies in that cup to ensure it is actually a 4 SP serving. 
WW Purple SmartPoints: If you use whole wheat or bean-based spaghetti (such as chickpea), it will be 1 SP for 1 heaping cup. If you use any other kind, it will remain 4 for 1 heaping cup.
