WEIGHT WATCHERS SPICY SHRIMP SPAGHETTI
So many people love pasta and spaghetti. There are no off-limits foods with the WW program, and that includes pasta.
One easy way to bring more health benefits to pasta eating is to buy whole wheat pasta. This recipe has a base of whole wheat spaghetti.
There is only a small point difference between regular spaghetti and whole wheat spaghetti, but every point counts!!
I love that this recipe has a spicy kick to it. You can tame it down easily, though if you don't like spice!

What is calm juice?
What else would work if I don’t have clam juice?
You could try chicken broth…not sure if the flavor will change a lot.
Jamie, how can i post my comment on this recipe. I made it for my wife and two friends and it was a huge hit. I substituted whole grain rotini, a whole tomato and tomato paste and used chicken broth. In retrospect, i would use more tomato and broth to increase the volume of sauce. Overall it was a grandslam !
Can you use diced canned tomatoes instead? Would that change the point value?
It shouldn’t change the points value, but you would want to drain them very well so it didn’t add extra liquid. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I am on weight watchers and love shrimp and spicy food.
One thing I’ve learned on WW is that I have been overeating pasta my entire life—a serving is much less than I’ve been eating!
