BAKED SPAGHETTI (WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY)



Baked Spaghetti (Weight Watchers Friendly) image

I adapted this from a Light & Tasty cookbook. It was so delicious that I had to put it in the fridge before it was cool just to stop myself from eating it all! For WWers, this works to 6 points per serving. I use Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil sauce to keep the calorie/fat content as low as possible. Note: WW has changed their points system several times since this is posted, and you should recalculate the points by the current system.
