I managed to get this recipie after looking for ages, but it does not state anything about EE plan.

Macaroni Cheese
  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 300g (11oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 200g (7oz) frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 100ml (3 1/2 floz) water
  • 400g (14oz) cooked macaroni or other short-shape pasta
For the topping
  • 500g (1lb 2oz) very low fat natural yogurt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 175g (6oz) reduced fat Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 tbsp very finely chopped parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Place a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the leeks, garlic, tomatoes, peas, chives and water, stir together and cook for 6-8 minutes, until the water has been absorbed.
  • Stir the cooked pasta into the tomato mixture, then transfer to a shallow, ovenproof dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7. Mix all the topping ingredients in a bowl, season well and pour over the pasta mixture. Place in the oven and cook for 15-20 mins, or until lightly golden and bubbling. Allow to stand for 5 mins before serving. Accompany with a crisp green salad.

1oz reduced fat cheddar is 4.0syns so 6oz will be 24 syns.

Everything else is free.

Would the reduced fat chedder be even lesser points or was your calculations for reduced fat cheese ?
