12 jumbo pasta shells
1 1/2 c pasta sauce
2 large egg whites, gently beaten
1 1/2 c part skim ricotta cheese
4 oz. chicken, cooked and diced
1 c frozen spinach (chopped) thawed (drain all excess water)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp chopped basil
3/4 c part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

ReplyDeleteI pinned this awhile back and I've had it repinned almost 500 times! There's a lot of people out there trying this delicious recipe. I love your blog and seeing updates on your adorable little girl (I have two 16 month old boys, so it's fun to see what little girls around the same age are up to) I hope you post more Weight Watcher recipes, I think eating healthy is on almost everybody's new year's resolution list including mine.

ReplyDeleteThis is going on the menu next week. I plugged in the ingredients on WW site and it came out to 4 points per shell w/o the chicken.
ReplyDeleteI got the same thing too. For 3 shells, it was 13 points, but I'm still excited to try them... just might eat a smaller portion!
DeleteI made this last night and let me tell you they are amazing even my 3 year old couldn't get enough!
