WEIGHT WATCHERS FAUX SEAFOOD ALFREDO
This recipe came from one of my first Weight Watchers meetings years ago and my family and I really liked it, not to mention super easy to make. It 6.5 points for 1 serving with seafood and 7.5 points fot 1 serving if chicken is substituted. 1 serving is 3/4 cup of sauce over 1 cup of pasta. Recipe title edited to reflect that this is a weight-watchers 'alike' version and is point-friendly.

WW FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This is an outstanding dish. I always add some shrimp and mushrooms to the dish. I know the shimp adds more points but it is so worth it. Without the shrimp and mushrooms you get 7 points per serving. Serving size is 1 cup. Serve piping hot while it's creamiest. Happy eating.
