Need help calculating points per serving for recipe
I have a great low fat ziti recipe, but need helpcalculating the points per serving:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sweet and/or hot Italian turkey sausage links, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 large green, yellow, or red (I use yellow and red) peppers, cut into 1/4 in slices
1 jumbo onion, cut in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4 in slices
1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes in puree
1 can (15 oz) tomato puree (I can never find a 15 oz can of puree, so I just use tomato sauce)
1-teaspoon salt
1 pound high-fiber ziti or penne pasta (Like Barilla Plus)
1 (8 oz) package of Kraft 2% or Light (NOT fat-free) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
Because there is so little fat in turkey sausage, I use a very little olive oil when frying it. Or, you can try using a little chicken broth.
1. Prepare sauce: in deep skillet, heat a little olive oil and sauté the sausage over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally
2. Reduce heat to medium. To sausage in skillet, add a tiny bit more olive oil or broth, if necessary to prevent burning, and the onions, peppers, and garlic and cook, covered, 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in tomatoes with the puree, the puree, and salt. Heat to boiling over medium heat, breaking up tomatoes with the side of a spoon. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat large covered pot of salted water to boiling over high heat. Add pasta, and cook for a minute or two less than the time recommended on the label.
5. Drain pasta. Return pasta to pot; add sauce to coat. Add mozzarella cheese. Stir slightly to combine.
6. Put pasta to an ungreased 11" x 13" glass or ceramic baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the grated cheese.
7. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes, until top browns and sauce is bubbling. Let stand for 10 minutes
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
