My favourite meal in the whole wide world! Is there a slimming world recipe out there somewhere?
Macaroni Cheese

I make cheesy pasta - not quite as nice as macaroni cheese but still nice!
I cook my pasta in boiling water and whilst it's boiling away I mix some fat free natural yoghurt (just enough to coat the pasta) with an egg, some mustard powder, salt, pepper and as much grated strong cheddar cheese as you can afford syn wise. I do it on a green day so can have 2 hexas of cheese plus 1 hexb of cheese. Once the pasta is cooked, drain, saving some of the water in a cup. Leave the pasta over a very low heat and pour in your cheesy yoghurt mixture and stir well. If it gets a bit thick and claggy add a little of the left over boiling water.
Great comfort food.

I think this recipe is really nice:

It would work fine without the brocolli, if you're not a fan, but it's a very yummy way to get the superfree in!

Thanks for this! Sounds lovely, will make it on Thursday as WI night treat
Another good tip is to use a tub of low fat cottage cheese. Blitz it to death with a hand blender or stick blender and add to your pasta. I use this a lot when I make spinach and nutmeg cannelloni (an SW recipe from the dark ages!) Don't worry if you can't get all the pesky lumps out, they cook down.
