Welcome! for cold pasta - I really love cold Pasta n' Sauces - some of the flavours are free, and others are only 0.5 / 1 syn
I'm not sure about the Ainsley couscous though... would like to know though - they're delish! lol!

but yea... good luck with SW!

Ainsley does have a value, and I think its approx 2 sins per packet but don't quote me on it! Cous cous is so easy to make, just pour boiling water over it to the half way mark, put a plate on top of it and leave it for 5 mins and its ready to eat. I have mine with roasted free veg in frylight and feta cheese as an A-really nice and easy.

Ooh that sounds really nice! I always have trouble with my couscous - it usually turns out to be pretty bland lol - might try the roasted veg and feta idea though - sounds delish! - Thanks!!

Try This

If you are using plain cous-cous but you like the Ainsley Harriott ones try this:

4oz plain cous-cous
Juice of 2 lemons
Handful fresh coriander
1 clove garlic
1/2 deseeded chilli (optional)
1 medium courgette
1 medium carrot
1 medium red onion
Handful chestnut mushrooms
Frylight

Finely chop all the vegetables and the herbs (keep seperate)

Put the cous-cous in a bowl with the lemon juice, cover with boiling water and then cover and set aside

Spray some frylight into a pan, add the onions, carrots and garlic then cook gently till soft

Add the chilli (if using), courgette and mushrooms & cook for a few more minuits.

Stir the veg mix, cous-cous and coriander together & serve.

Really tasty & free!!

If you've got the current magazine there's also a morroccan cous cous recipe in there, my hubby made it the other night and it's gorgeous!
