I found this in an old weight watchers cookbook the ultimate chicken cookbook at the library. I got two pictures confused and made something yummy!
I’m Italian-American so I will still eat reg white pasta that’s why I love WW so much. You can use wheat pasta but this was really good and 8sp.

5 chicken sausage, Italian flavor or one package.
Pint of grape tomatoes, cut in half
3 cloves of garlic

Add penne to boiling water.
Cook until Al dente about 10 minutes but check it, it will continue in sauce.
When the pasta is almost done spoon a big ladle of pasta water in skillet and stir with tomatoes making a sauce.
When pasta is done add to skillet, add asparagus it’s not going to cook but get warm and stay crunchy! Add sausage, stir, add basil leaves and enjoy!
