Quick Pesto Pasta Tauce Recipe for 3 Weight Watchers Points
This side dish is quick and easy...I repeat quick and easy. I have to fight Mr F because he wants to eat it all by himself versus leaving any leftovers for me for quick points figuring.
Next time I make this, I'll try adding in a bit of chicken breast. Let me know if you do that first and how you liked it please!

4 oz. uncooked multigrain penne pasta (1-1/4 c uncooked)
2 Tbs commercial pesto
2 tsp grated Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions omitting salt and fat. Drain. Combine pasta, pesto, and cheese in a bowl and toss well.
YIELD: 4 servings
SERVING SIZE: 1/2 cup
