Super simple to make
Serves 4
Ready in about 30 mins
Syns per serving: 4.5 syns on Green & Extra Easy if not using the cheese as HEA choice.

Ingredients:
12 oz/340g dried macaroni
11 oz/312g brocolli florets
4 oz/113g smoked cheese, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp dried red chilli flakes

salt & pepper

Method:
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees/gas mark 6. Boil the macaroni in a pan for 10-12 minutes adding the brocolli florets for the last 4 minutes. Drain well & set aside.
Mix together the smoked cheese, crushed garlic, chilli flakes, quark & egg yolks in a large bowl & season well. Add the pasta & brocolli & toss to coat evenly.

Wow! Well done with your weight loss, Lauren. I've been doing it at home for 8 weeks now and have lost the same as you so wish we could swap places! There are loads of recipe ideas on here - I totally love this site, it's so inspirational. I've added my own thread with some easy recipes on, if you're interested. You go into SW Recipes thread and it's called something like Easy Meals with Minimum Ingredients or something like that! Can't remember exactly - must be the start of old age!! Hope it helps and good luck on your SW journey. Kathy x
