Newbie here :sigh:
I'm trying to work out my weekly menu and very confused.
I am taking a recipe for carbonara from SW online that says on green it has 3 syns on green.
But looking at the ingredients I don't understand where the syns are coming from.
Can someone help?
4 rashers bacon, all visible fat removed (or Quorn bacon-style pieces - see tip)
3 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp fat free natural fromage frais
2 level tbsp grated parmesan cheese
small bunch of chives
397g/14oz boiled spaghetti
To me I would have bacon as my healthy extra B option, eggs are free, yoghurt is free, parmesan as my A choice, chives are free and spaghetti free.
Am I being dim? If I was making this from scratch withouth the recipe just throwing things in a pot I wouldn't syn any of it as according to me working it out it shouldn't have a syn value. It is that the amount of bacon is more than you're allowed in your healthy extra?
