Hiya Hun,
Not actually propoints-ing yet but I used to use low fat creme fraiche on old points. Is 1PP per tablespoon. Lovely with grilled bacon medallions (1pp per 2 rashers) chopped up and 1tablespoon (15g) of parmesan (2pp) finely grated (microplane if you have one - gives greater surface area - looks and tastes like a lot more than there really is!). Add medium portion of pasta for 4 pp and you have creamy pasta lushness at 9pp. Wack in some mushrooms (or peas if you have the pp to spare!).

Hope you enjoy it!

Here it is hon. I've PPointed it for you... it can come out around 9-10pp depending but you can mix it up and add chicken if you like and re-PP yourself with your own ingredients hon.
All credit to Dubchick though! x
I know its technically not a pasta salad but you get the idea... using philly seems to make a rather nice creamy sauce I find. WW also do their own creme fraiche and cream too.
Or maybe you could use a squirt of salad cream over the top?
