Weightwatchers Pasta Recipes

Weightwatchers Pasta Bolognese

I love Pasta Bolognese and i make this roughly once a month, however, when i first started WeightWatchers i had absolutely no cooking skills and it took me a full year to learn how to make this without using a store bought sauce, instant pasta or a frozen meal. 


So after about 8 months of making pure and utter slop i decided to Google a few recipes and see what i could come up with.  Four and a half years on here's an actual recipe. 


I wouldn't mind but its so simple.

Lightly spray a non stick pan with some spray oil over a high heat, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes until they turn golden, but not burning. Reduce heat to medium.  Add the peppers and saute for another 2 minutes.  Add the mince and stir, breaking up large pieces of meat. 


Add salt and pepper of half a Tbl of Spicy Italian seasoning. 

The mince should not be turning a brown/white color. Continue to break up the mince.
