    Alt=,As much as I love my low-carb days of eating spaghetti squash and spiralized veggies, lets face it, nothing beats real pasta once in a while. What I love about the Weight Watchers diet is that no foods are off limit. Pasta, pizza, cheese, you can have them with some simple tweaks to your favorite dishes, portion control and balancing out your day. In this dish for example, the pasta is loaded with so many vegetables to keep portions large and satisfying for a balanced dish.,My aunt has an auto immune disease and cant tolerate gluten, so I made this with Delallos Gluten-Free Whole Grain Penne. I first discovered their gluten-free pasta when I got some samples and shared with my girlfriend who has Celiac. She loved it so much she asked me to get her more and Ive been a huge fan ever since. Wheat pasta can also be used, whatever your family enjoys.
