COMMENTS:
1. This was a delicious and filling dinner. I bulked up the pasta by cooking some sweet turkey sausage and turkey kielbasa to go into the pasta. It got rave reviews from the family. :)
2. The 7pp per serving is just for this pasta recipe. It does not include the added turkey sausages. Add additional PointsPlus if you add a protein.
