Extra Easy Pasta

[Loupy]

I cant remember if this is right but i seem to remember that you cant eat fresh pasta - does anyone know why??

not sure about pasta, but i asked earlier about fresh noodles, and apparently they arent free cos they're coated in oil to prevent them sticking together, so am guessing it might be the same with pasta.
someone who knows for sure will be along in a minute i'm sure

Fresh pasta is usually made with quite a lashing of olive oil xx

i had some in the freezer so i just checked the packet detail - did not occur to me that oil could be the reason!

Anyway, according to the packet it has dried egg, drum wheat and the usual... maybe something in the dried egg - annoying as i only discovered it wasnt free yesterday and i've made a rather lovely lasagne which is sitting defrosting in my fridge.. and after the disaster of my thai green curry tonight i was looking forward to a nice healthy and tasty meal tomorrow with no syns.

As above - it has more olive oil than dried pasta - which is a shame as fresh pasta is soo yummy!

if its got a stack of olive oil in then that would be why its so tasty - ah well, i will have to allow a few syns for the lasagne, its only half a sheet so not much...

thanks everyone

It's only 1 syn per 28g cooked or uncooked weight, so won't do too much damage
