And guess what ... it's Weight Watchers Friendly
Tuna Pasta Bake would have to be one of my all time favourite meals. However, I know it really isn't that nourishing or good for you. Well, it is, it is just full of fat and carbs and certainly not WW Friendly.
So I decided to write my own recipe (OMG) and make it taste delicious, be nutritious and be WW Friendly.
Guess what - I did it !!
This meal is for 6 people and it's 7 Personal Points per serve. To say that I am happy is an understatement.
