In case anyone needs to know, this works out to 6 points/serving on WW.

Which is great considering the pasta and the size of the serving! I'm definitely putting this one in the "summertime cold meals" recipe list! Thanks Bais!

How are points figured? I can add them to each of the recipes in the memories section.

here's the official (copyrighted, patented, yadayada) formula:

calories/50 + fat grams/12 - fiber grams (n,4)/5 = points

In English because maybe my math equation writing skills are bad:
So calories divided by 50 plus fat grams divided by 12 minus fiber grams (max of 4) divided by 5.

Did that make sense?

I think so...

If I'm getting it then this recipe has 4.29 or 4 points. But if there were 6 fiber grams it would be 3.54 or still 4 points.

Yes?

I'm making this right now! Thanks. I just happened to have tortellini in my fridge.

How was it?
