Spinach Pasta

Who says you can't eat pasta and stay within your PointsPlus™? Certainly NOT me!!!  I was a tad leery about this recipe at first since you don't cook and drain the pasta. But it's really good!! Very colorful as well.

SPINACH PASTA
Makes 6 Servings
1 Serving = 4 PointsPlus™


1 an (14.5 oz) Italian style diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups multi-grain penne pasta, uncooked
1 cup water
1 pkg (6 or 9 oz.) baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup Kraft 2% shredded Italian 3 Cheese Blend


Bring tomatoes, pasta and water to boil in a large saucepan; stir. Cover and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes or just until pasta is tender.


Add half of the spinach; simmer covered for 2 minutes or until just wilted. Repeat with the rest of the spinach.


Serve topped with the cheese.

MY SPIN: I didn't have the 2% cheese so I used what you see in the picture of the ingredients. The next time I make this I'm going to put some garlic in it.

Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court!!   *** The PointsPlus™ value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark. ***

Later!
