This recipe is from an older Weight Watchers recipe and the info on points is from the nutritional info. I did make a few changes so had to add more points, but for my family using alfredo sauce instead of plain tomato sauce made all the difference. I am calculating with the changes it would be around 8 points per serving which is 3 shells.

How To Make ww stuffed shells with alfredo sauce

  • 1
    Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucier, add the chopped onions, saute until almost translucent, add the garlic, cook for another minute, then add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is cooked through.
  • 2
    Meanwhile cook the shells in boiling salted water to package directions, then drain well.
  • 3
    In a large bowl put the rest of ingredients except the alfredo sauce and mozzarella.
  • 4
    Add the turkey mixture to the bowl and stir until combined.
  • 5
    Fill each shell with 2 rounded tablespoons of filling and place in a well greased 9 by 13 inch pan.
  • 6
    Pour the alfredo sauce evenly over the top. I usually reserve the mozarella for the last 10 minutes of baking for extra ooziness.
