Updated Points Info For Personal Points:
In November of 2021 the WW system updated once again! Now that points are different for each user we can’t tell exactly what your points will be.
Good news! I’m adding all my recipes (ingredients lists) into the custom Weight Watchers recipe creator so that hopefully I can share the lists with each member and they’ll have access to the points based on their preferences in the app.
This will probably yield you about one cup per serving. Unfortunately, I don’t accurately measure my casseroles like I probably should. If you want to get it just right I would portion it out into servings after it is made so that you have 12 equal servings.
How many WW Points are in this delicious pizza casserole recipe?
Each Weight Watchers Pepperoni Pizza Casserole should be divided into 12 equal servings.
This is a great plan if you like to have your meals ready for the week, they’re easy to pop into the microwave when you need them…tho I’d be lying if I said we don’t sometimes just eat this cold for leftovers!
The great thing about this recipe is that you can customize it for whatever preferences your family has including dietary restrictions. Make sure you create the recipe on ww.com if you change anything but feel free to play with the veggies since most are zero points on multiple plans!
If you like onions, green peppers, jalapeños, or even mushrooms on your pizza they make a great addition to the recipe!

I am having trouble finding low carb pasta and zero point sauce. What brands do you use and where do you find them? Thanks!

Aldi brand, Trader Joe's brand or even Rao's usually has the lowest sugar sauces. You can try to find zero point canned tomatoes or tomato paste and add your own seasonings to make sauce, too.

Is the pasta measured when it’s cooked or uncooked?

12 oz of pasta before cooking. Thanks!

I entered all of your provided nutritional info into the calculator in the WW app, and the result is 5 points for the Freestyle program, not 3.

You have to enter your individual ingredients in the app. Never use the nutritional information on a recipe because it's not guaranteed to be accurate. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought it was bland and dry. If I make again, I would add another can of sauce and increase Italian spices. It was very cheesy though which was good.

Do you add spinach to the mixture or just on top? Same with hot peppers
Michele Brosius

That depends on personal preference. Not everyone in my house will eat those additional ingredients so I add mine at serving. Plus, I prefer spinach and hot peppers fresh. If you don't mind them cooked just stir it right in before baking. Thanks
