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!

Weight Watchers Pasta Casserole recipe

Ingredients
8 oz dried whole wheat penne (or other pasta)
1 1/2 cups butternut squash, peeled and sliced into small pieces
3 handfuls spinach, chard or kale, chopped
2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
2 large egg yolks
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
8 large Kalamata olives, pitted and torn into pieces
1/4 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
zest of one large lemon
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

Weight Watchers Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-Fry recipe - 4 points

This is a wonderful dish, so tasty and easy to make… I used to order a very similar dish from a local Chinese restaurant, but now that I know how to prepare it I’ll be making it at home all the time!

You can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, etc) or mushrooms… they all work great with this recipe.

Ingredients
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 pieces
1 1/2 ounces thin sliced baby carrots
1/2 (3 ounce) bell peppers, chopped

3 ounces chopped celery
3 ounces snap peas, cut in half width-wise
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup canned pineapple in juice, undrained
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
