Weight Watchers Spaghetti Carbonara

[Vicky P]

Hi All,
I really want to make the Weight Watchers spaghetti carbonara (recipe link below) the recipe say 13 propoints and serves 4, does that mean 13 points per serving or per whole batch?

Oh crikey, That's quite a lot then. I hope its filling.

Thanks for your help.

You could bulk it out by adding some vegetables to it? Not quite a carbonara I know but I can't see you getting a lot for your money. I don't tend to eat much spaghetti because you just don't get a lot

Pasta has got to be amongst my favourite foods but you are right, way too many pp's for what I think is a real portion

I had spag bol with couscous instead of spaghetti yesterday as it bulked the mince out more and I felt like I was getting more

 

[Vicky P]

Yeah pasta is lush, but I never feel full with the measly portions you can have. Tonight I made this recipe and I am still hungry, thank goodness for my extra points that I have saved.

Couscous with bolognese, thats a good idea, i'm going to try that.

It was really tasty. I love couscous

I've seen some images on Instagram using the WW Carbonara where they packed it out with loads of veg - such as mushrooms, cali/broc, sweetcorn...whatever tickles your fancy Did make me hungry searching the image! lol! x

When I make pasta like NinkNak I add in loads of veggies - mushrooms and brocolli are my favourites.
