I found this recipe on another site and for some reason it just sounds too good to be true (I'm probably being over-cautious). Can someone please run this through Mastercook to ensure that the points are right?

Spinach Stuffed Pasta Shells
1 (26 ounce) jar fat-free spaghetti sauce, divided
Vegetable cooking spray
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup lite ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, divided, finely shredded
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 jumbo pasta shells, cooked

Spoon half of spaghetti sauce into an 11 x 7 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Set aside.

Combine spinach, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, pepper and nutmeg; stir well. Spoon spinach mixture evenly into pasta shells. Arrange shells over sauce in baking dish. Spoon remaining half of spaghetti sauce over shells.

Cover and bake at 400 degrees F for 35 minutes or until bubbly.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Yield: 4 servings - 5 WW points per serving

Got as close as I could on this recipe at 5.3 points rounded down to 5 points per serving. MasterCook database didn't have fat free spaghetti sauce but the generic kind has 1 gram of fat per 1/2 cup serving so that's what I used to figure it.

Ooooo...thank you SO much!!! I don't know why I was doubting this but it just sounded too delicious to be true. I'm going to go ahead and post it in the pasta section. I really appreciate it!
