Quite good - simple and satisfying. I did add some balsamic to the pan at the end of cooking, just for a little extra flavor. Thanks for providing WW points too! -
Great dinner! Thought I had some cherry tomatoes... but didn't... so used some fresh garden tomatoes. Used whole-wheat spaghetti and grated some fresh parmesan on top. Delicious and healthy!! Thanks ellie for sharing! -
A nice side dish, or for me, a main meal! I used whole wheat spaghetti, and cut up plum tomatoes. My DH enjoyed this too! Thanks!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
