I'm not an exceptional cook, but this is a really good vegetarian tomato sauce I came up with. The apple and pears make up for the lack of meat, and you'll hardly even notice you're eating a vegetarian dish. I'm only posting the recipe for the sauce (seen at the top of the picture), since I'm assuming you'll know how to prepare pasta noodles; if not, the box of pasta probably has directions on it. o-o
Also, if you're hell-bent on sticking some meat in this, I've tried ground turkey, and it tastes pretty good. Just brown the turkey in the pan and drain out the excess liquid before beginning the actual recipe.
Not a damn clue how many servings this yields, but I believe each serving would be somewhere around 4 Weight Watchers points (just the sauce, not with pasta).
