Which WW Program are these points for?
WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”
- Be sure to calculate the points value of the foods and recipes you eat in the app.
- Always add ingredients and serving sizes and don’t rely on the nutrition facts in the recipe.
- Accuracy will come from the information you input on the app.
Tips for lowering points:
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!
Using canned tomato sauce, lean ground turkey (or chicken) and no fat cheese help make this a delicious low point casserole.
Whole wheat or low carb noodles help keep points lower.
The serving size is one cup.
Serve with a low point side or green salad for a filling low points dinner.

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.
