weight watchers pasta casserole recipe 4 points

Here’s a pasta casserole recipe that’s not as cheesy as the usual ones, thus making it lighter and more diet-friendly. You can re-interpret this recipe based on the seasons: try replacing the butternut squash with roasted tomatoes and zucchini in the summer, or some asparagus and dill in the spring. Don’t forget to add the toasted almonds (or some other nuts) for some crunch!
