Pasta with Roasted Vegetables | Weight Watchers Meal
It’s probably safe to say that if FOOD was a love language, it would be one of mine. Ha! I love food; therefore, it makes dieting very difficult. Plus, I like to eat when I celebrate, when I’m sad, when I’m angry and every other time in between. Can anyone else relate to that?
Yes, I’m on Weight Watchers and fighting the good fight. However, it’s often a roller coaster — a great week, then a rough week. I just continue to tell myself that slow and steady wins the race and I have to celebrate the little victories (and, trust me, there are plenty of those).
Roasted Vegetable Pasta
Pasta is one of my favorite foods. Fettuccini Alfredo, Mac-n-Cheese, Goulash, Tuna Casserole are amongst some of my favorites. It’s a real treat when you can find a pasta dish that is Weight Watchers friendly too. The pasta paired with roasted vegetables, chopped rosemary and feta cheese is an amazing combination of flavor.
When the hubby asks for a dish to go in the regular rotation, you know you’ve found a great new dish! So, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
p.s. I usually make a lot more vegetables than the recipe calls for because their ZERO points, so you can pile them on (wink-wink). Disfrutar (enjoy in Spanish).

I bet this would be excellent with a substitute of fresh basil instead of the rosemary! I sent it to a friend who is not “a rosemary liking” person and suggested the switch. It could just be because my basil plant is growing so nicely, also! Yum! Thanks for the great new recipe!
