WW Friendly Publix Sale Meal Ideas - 2/16


Italian Days at Publix are back! That means *tons* of products used for italian meals are on sale right now. Also, there's a coupon for $5 off 20 italian days products HERE. The only thing that's not on sale (sadly) is whole wheat pasta, just the regular stuff. In other news I am trying to broaden my horizon of recipes. Skinny Taste and WW.com are still my main resources, but I've also got the WW New Complete Cookbook w/ pts+, the Ready, set, go cookbook, the Just 5 cookbook, and Everyday Food (the Jan light issue has some good stuff!)

Recipes:

Spinach, Onion, and Ricotta Frittata
Serves 6
Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 cups frozen spinach from two 10-oz pkgs, thawed and squeezed
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 cups egg beaters
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 deg F. In a 10-in ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add spinach and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes
  2. Add egg beaters and ricotta, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook, undisturbed, until edges are set, about 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until top of frittata is just set, 10 to 13 minutes. Invert or slide frittata onto a plate and cut into 6 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature
Sriracha Marina and Meatballs - 8 servings - 13 Pts+ per serving (use 2 lbs ground turkey or lean beef instead of pork for less pts)
Ingredients (for the meatballs):
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 lb ground white meat turkey
  • 2 pkgs 10-oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/3 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3/4 tsp dried oregano
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • nonstick cooking spray
Ingredients (for the sauce):
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 cans (28 oz each) crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce (hot sauce w/ rooster on the bottle)
  • 1 lb spaghetti or other long pasta
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped, for serving
Directions:
  1. Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place pork, turkey, spinach, breadcrumbs, egg whites, oregano, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a large bowl. With your hands, mix to combine; roll into 40 one inch meatballs. Arrange meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Broil until golden brown, 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.
  2. In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 6 min. Add tomatoes and Sriracha and bring to a simmer. Add meatballs and simmer 10 min. To store, let cool then refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week, or freeze, up to 3 months.
  3. In a large pot of boiling salted walter, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta, add to pot with sauce and meatballs, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
