I just use the sliding Weight Watchers Points Calculator that I got when I signed up for Weight Watchers. The actual Weight Watchers Points formula used in the Weight Watchers Points calculator is currently under strict US Patent laws. The formula is

p= (c/50) + (f/12) – (min{r,4}/5)

Where:
p = Points
c = Calories
f = Fat Grams
r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Note: min{r, 4} equals the number of grams of dietary fiber or 4, whichever is smaller. In other words, only the first 4 grams of fiber "count.")

do you calculate ww points value as 50+ fat/12-fiber/5 is this the correct way?

You totally can. Just make sure you check the calories, fat, and fiber in order to calculate the correct Points total.

Can you use ground turkey instead of ground chicken breast?

and what about fat free cottage cheese instead of the ricotta?

Yikes! That should read 32oz! Thanks for catching that! I'll correct it right now.

Do you really need 52 oz of marinara? That seems like an awful lot (5 jars).

Cheers,

Jay

The dry lasagna noodles are a special kind of lasagna noodle that you actually assemble while it's still dry. So it saves you the time and hassle of having to pre-cook them. Just check the pasta aisle in your local grocery store and you should find them. :) Hope it turns out well for you!!

I am not a seasoned cook so I have a question to ask about this recipe. The ingredients call for "dry" lasagna noodles. Do you have to cook the noodles before assembling the lasagna or do you assemble it with dry noodles?

This looks delicious!! I look forward to hearing a response so I can give this one a shot. :)
