Updated with New (2022) WW Program Points.
Look no more for the perfect Italian Meat (Pasta) sauce that doesn’t require you stirring it all day long over a hot stove. This healthy slow cooker Italian Meat Sauce is the stuff dreams are made of.
And if you are eating healthy – just go and print the recipe now because this is super low in fat (hardly any fat) and full of vegetables.
And, if you are on the Weight Watchers Program (WW), since ground turkey breast is used in this recipe, this thick meaty slow cooker pasta sauce recipe is only 1 Point per serving. Yea, I know. And since fat free cottage cheese is 0 Points as well, I love a bowl of fat free cottage cheese drenched in this Slow Cooker Italian Meat Sauce. Just 1 Point for dinner, I’ll take that anytime.
Let’s get cooking……..
