Adding spinach to your meatballs adds volume and fiber, so you can eat the same amount of meatballs with fewer calories, and it's a great way to sneak veggies into your picky kid's meal. I got 30 small meatballs out of this but only 25 made it into the sauce (my husband and I kept eating them). They are moist and flavorful with or without the sauce. Serve the leftovers for lunch on crusty whole wheat Italian bread for a meatball hero.
For a traditional spaghetti and meatball dinner, serve this over 1 cup of your favorite low point pasta. I had this over 1 cup Ronzoni Smart Taste spaghetti which gave me a total of 7 points.

This was a favorite of mine growing up. Now that I am trying to get healthy I decided to make this the original way and then make a recipe make over of it.
Lasagna with fresh egg pasta, Bechamel sauce, calamari, shrimp and bay scallops.
This is a smaller lasagna, uses an 8" x 8" pan
Bell peppers stuffed with quinoa, sauteed onions, and tomato sauce, then baked.
Calories and such will be less if you use 98% fat free cream of chicken soup. I just didn't have that this time.
A healthy, light pasta dish that will satisfy your senses, as well as your tummy!
Not a very low fat meal, but the best ceasar salad in the world! You will want to save your calories for this one :)
