- 10-12 oz bag shredded cabbage (about 4 packed cups)
FOR THE SAUCE
- 1/3 cup soy sauce or tamari

Cook pasta according to package directions, under cooking by about a minute.
Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, saute onion and celery until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in cabbage and saute a few minutes until slightly wilted.
Mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Add pasta and sauce mixture to skillet with veggies until the pasta has absorbed the sauce, about a minute or so.
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.
