Easy Rigatoni / Rigatoni Recipe / Saucy Rigatoni / Low Fat Pasta / Weight Watchers / Weight Watchers Pasta / Points Plus recipes / Weight Watchers Main Dish / Weight Watchers Dinner Low Fat Rigatoni / Red Sauce / Ground Turkey Pasta / via @clarkscondensed

This one pot rigatoni is saucy and cheesy, and it’s a better-for-you pasta option – it’s a weight watchers friendly pasta! Saucy, creamy, and DELICIOUS!

If you ask Jack what his favorite food is, without a doubt, he will say, “Pasta and Salad – you know those are my favorites!”

Needless to say, we eat a lot of pasta around here. Fortunately, I love pasta, too, and there’s so much versatility in what you can make.

I’ve made lasagna pasta a few times in the past (even though it doesn’t actually have lasagna noodles…weird). Since I am on Weight Watchers right now, I decided to make a few healthier swaps and use rigatoni pasta.

It turned out so good! This is a great one pot pasta dish, and everyone in the family loved it. It really does taste like lasagna! It’s saucy, creamy, and cheesy – all essentials in life 😉

Jack and Oliver both asked for seconds (possibly thirds), and I can hardly wait to eat it at lunch time!

One serving is 10 points using the points plus model with Weight Watchers. Obviously not the lowest point meal, but for it being a hearty pasta dinner, I’d say it’s not too bad!

    This sounds absolutely delicious. I’m kind of confused cause when I put in the exact measurements into my weight watchers app for a serving of 6, it tells me it’s 14 points and if I change everything for 4 servings, it’s 16 points.

      Hi, Rebecca! It may depend on the ingredients or what weight watchers plan you are on. I did this post several years ago, and I think they’ve changed the program since then πŸ™

      You are welcome to use your own homemade pasta sauce – however, in my experience, people have different preferences and abilities. I use store bought pasta sauce all the time – and that’s how this recipe was made. We try to keep things as simple as possible around here.

      This makes about six servings, so just divide it up into 6 portions to get the approximate amount for 10 points πŸ™‚ I didn’t measure this recipe out when I made it (I should have!) to get a more precise serving size. So glad you love it!

          Not a silly question! I used a 16 ounce box, so just 2/3 of that size πŸ™‚
