Weight Watchers 0 Pt Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

I found this recipe back in 2002 in the weight watchers community recipe swap. because it is all vegies and seasonings it has 0 points. i tweeked the recipe to my liking and have been making it since then - even when i'm not watching my points. it makes about 6 cups (1 1/2 cups per serving). i also add 2 turkey italian sausage links to the sauce to up the points value to 2 pts. Per serving. i then serve it over 1 cup of ronzoni smart taste pasta for 3 more points. gets you a good size portion for a total of 5 points. my husband also likes it. it does get a little watery looking but the flavor is there and is a good size portion.

Steps

Saute the diced onion and green pepper in a large cooking pot using the cooking spray 5 or so minutes.
Add the garlic and cook another minute or so.
Add all other ingredients and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
(as i explained above - i cook 2 italian sausage links and cut into small pieces and add when adding all other ingredients.
Serve over your choice of pasta (i use ronzoni smart taste spaghetti at 170 calories w /.
5 gram fat and 5 grams fiber - 3 pts for 1 serving )).
