Pasta With Shrimp and Beans (Weight Watchers) image

Although I changed this recipe a bit from the original printed in Weight Watchers Mix It and Match It - I don't think the points have changed. Points are about 7 per serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta turned out great. The sauce was a bit thin for my taste, so I added a little cornstarch to thicken it up.
