Bow-tie pasta with broccoli

Today's 12 point plus value lunch:

2 ounces of bow tie pasta (weighed before cooking) - 5 point plus value
A couple thin slices of red onion - 0 point plus value
Extra virgin olive oil from my Weight Watcher's Sprayer - 1 point plus value
1/2 ounce of walnuts, chopped - 3 point plus value
1 cup of broccoli, raw, cut into small pieces - 0 point plus value
1 ounce of blue cheese crumbles - 3 point plus value

I just boiled the noodles until al dente then added all the other ingredients, some cracked black pepper and then sprayed the olive oil.  Yum! The protein from the nuts and cheese make it filing as does the fiber from the broccoli.  Great quick and easy lunch to give me the energy I need to tackle grocery shopping!
