Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

- Before putting the meatballs on the pan, spray the baking pan with your favorite non-stick spray.
- Put the meatballs in the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Turn the meatballs over after 10 minutes so they brown on both sides.

- Boil the angel hair pasta in salted water for 2-4 minutes.
- Drain the pasta.
- For those of you counting points - for 10 points you get 5 meatballs, 2 oz(1/4 the amount cooked) of pasta and 1/4 cup pasta sauce.
- If you have points left over then top with a little bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and add a salad!

BAKED SPAGHETTI (WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY)
I adapted this from a Light & Tasty cookbook. It was so delicious that I had to put it in the fridge before it was cool just to stop myself from eating it all! For WWers, this works to 6 points per serving. I use Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil sauce to keep the calorie/fat content as low as possible. Note: WW has changed their points system several times since this is posted, and you should recalculate the points by the current system.
