Frequently asked syn values! Pasta 'n' Sauce? - find it here!

[libra77]

I thought the C&B would be about 2 syns but if you work it out as cooked weight made to packet instructions it comes to 10 syns a packet

This has been bugging me so I sat and tried to work it out. I worked out the syns for the milk and butter that would be factored in to the cooking instructions and deducted these syns from the total. I do make it as 2 syns for the pack if using milk as HEXA and not using the butter. Phew....10 syns was worrying me!

 

[iamtiasmom]

I love these!

Had no idea that they were free or asda had started stocking the mushroom and wine one again, love adding quorn pieces to it to make it chicken and mushroom flavour.... guess where I'm going today...

 

[elliott]

mojomcl, i thought they had discontinued too but Asda had them in at the weekend on offer, I bought 10 lol

 

[westworld]

So is it 2.5 syns per 100g cooked weight ??

 

[libra77]

Yes, it is 2.5 syns per cooked 100g, if made to the packet instructions. So this factors in your milk and butter. The problem with C&B pasta n sauces is that they only provide cooked nutritional info so it is hard to work out the dried syn value like a Batchelor's one. But I worked it out from cooked weight, deducting the syn values for the milk which I would count as a HEXA and then the butter which I never use, and it came to 2 syns for the pack.

Hope this helps.

 

[westworld]

Thanks for that its weighs 400g cooked.I only use just water for them, i love the pasta in 5 range, do you no the syn value for them please..

 

[libra77]

Westworld,
I am not on SW online otherwise I would look them up for you. I only know the C&B Macaroni Cheese one as I worked it out. If you make up one pack using just water it should be 2 syns for the pack. Not sure about the other varieties though.

 

[westworld]

ok thanks

batchelors super noodles

sorry have looked through but cant see them on here can anyone tell me if any of them are free on ee thanks

 

[Circes]

If they are free on green then they are automatically also free on EE.
Hope that helps.

 

[valerie11]

hi circes thanks i didnt know that, i need to get the food directory it makes life a lot easier

 

[Yorkslass]

I take it that you make these with just water and leave out the butter and milk yes? :0)

I have the cheese and broccoli packet and I thought that this made up with water only wouldn't be very nice, but I was pleasantly surprised and wouldn't have noticed it had no milk in it - big portion too if you have the whole packet!
