Weight Watchers Spag Bol

Chelseagirl · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:29 am Post subject:

Has anyone got a recipe for WW Spag Bol?

Or a VEGGIE recipe. I am really going off meat, I made Spag Bol, with Lamb mince last night, didn't really enjoy it, just ate the mushrooms and spaghetti............ I might make in with Quorn mince next time.

But if anyone can help with a WW or VEGGIE version, i'd be grateful.

Or a Chilli Con Carne..............

Thanks.

1 garlic clove, crushed

150g mushrooms, sliced

1 cooking apple peeled and grated

150g carrots, grated

1tsp hot chilli powder or cayenne pepper

2 tblesp tomato puree

400g can of chopped tomatoes

this recipe serves 4 and is 5 points per portion.

if you substitute the mince for quorn the points value will be 3 and a half points

i managed to pick up a couple of WW books in asda. they were old ones so were selling them cheap...but they based on the points
