We’re huge pasta lovers in my house. I know all about the carbs and how they’re not healthy, but I can’t help it. Pasta is sooo good! And easy. Before trying this recipe, I’d heard of spaghetti squash, but I’d never had it before. I really wasn’t sure to expect.
Turns out, I am in LOVE with this recipe! We were skeptical about using spaghetti squash instead of actual pasta… the outcome? This is going to become a once a week meal for us! The Laughing Cow Swiss adds just the right amount of cheese to combine the tastes of all the vegetables. And the best part? You guessed it! It’s only 2 smart points per serving! Weight Watchers Spaghetti Squash Primavera hits all the right craving spots!
This recipe is great for vegetarians too. And if you use vegan cheese, vegans would adore it too. No matter what, it’s an amazing pasta-like dish that doesn’t leave you wanting. It fills the craving for pasta without all those carbs and leaves you feeling so full you won’t need to snack later. What more can you ask for? In our house, nothing! Give it a try for your dinner tonight.
