Comfort food is a must in this weather and I'm already craving it in abundance.
I love bolognese and chilli con carne and my little person does too. He's not so keen on roasts which I have no idea why that is?!? Our favourite is a good roast with dry roasted potatoes and veg. Both my husband and me love macaroni cheese, I see this as part of my childhood as I used to only get macaroni cheese when my dad went off on work conferences/training around the country. He can't stand cheese (I know strange right?)
So here is a yummy macaroni cheese dish, no quark used and lots of veg, its not overly cheesy as I was used to but it satisfys the craving...
SERVES 4 Syns 3 syns per person but could add 220g philly and it count as one of your HEA
Cook pasta and if need to cook veg do so (peppers are not needed to be cooked as they cook a bit in the oven/grill
Before draining the pasta take some of the pasta water a ladle at a time and whisk into the Philadelphia in a bowl to make the cheese become a creamy sauce (not too watery as the pasta will still have some water in it).
add the mustard powder or even use wholegrain mustard which is lovely but add syns if you do. 1.5syns +1tbsp
Then mix the veg and pasta together into a baking dish and add the cheese mustard sauce, use the cut tomatoes to decorate the top with cut side up.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top evenly and either grill or in the oven around 180 until the cheese has melted.
