Thread: pasta and sauce syns

Hi all

Can anyone please confirm if pasta and sauce is now synned? In the New book it says, 'pasta and sauce - all varieties 4.5 syns'. It does not say, made up as directed i.e. With butter and milk. So i would assume this is the dried packet. Any consultants mentioned this?

Hopefully someone can dispel this nasty rumour for me lol xx

The book just gives average syn values so it is always best to check online for your specific brand and flavour as some will be higher and some lower in syns :-)

According to the SW website, the following ones are free on Green and EE

Tomato, onion & herb
Wholegrain creamy tomato & basil
High-veg country vegetable
High-veg mushroom & garlic
High-veg tomato & basil
High-veg tomato & mediterranean vegetable
Cheese & broccoli
Chicken & mushroom

Hope that helps.

Haha!

I think it's like PatchworkPuss said, they are only giving you the average syns. They might be basing it upon the pasta being made as directed as well (i.e. with milk/butter). If it's the ones you need to add milk to, like the cheese and broccoli one, I just take the milk from my HexA allowance and then I don't need to count any syns.

Yes i agree. I mostly make them with water or half and half if i have any milk left that day. Thank u x

Are the syns the same for the tesco brand?

I've never had pasta n sauce. Does it taste okay with water instead of milk?

Yes its fine with water, not as creamy but if u haven't eaten it before u won't know the difference lol. All are individually synned. Most tomato ones are free and cheese ones are very know syns 1/2-1 or 2 x

Thank. I might buy the macaroni cheese tesco one

I love these! I used to make mine with just water and they were great! Although creamy does sound good!

They're only 50p in Asda at the moment as well!!!!
