Pesto

Red pesto is just 2.5 syns for a level tbsp and green is a bit higher. i use this regularly in pasta, either on its own or with phillie cheese.
 
Hi I use the green pesto all the time with my pasta,1 tbsp is only 2.5 syns and i mix it with virtually fat free fromage frais. Delicious!!!
I dont know any syn free ones or an alternative, maybe others do.
enjoy
 
Actually green pesto is a little bit higher than red

The good thing about pesto is a little goes a long way.

My current favourite brekkie/snack is mixing 70g of quark with 1 teaspoon of pesto (1 syn) then spreading it on 4 sesame ryvitas (1 HEX B) and topping with sliced red and yellow baby tomatoes

There wouldn't really be a low syn version as its main incregients are pine nuts, basil, oil and parmesan. If you took out all the synny ingredients you are just left with basil

Pesto is high syns because of the oil in it, theres a recipe in the SW magazine for pesto though.

CP that sounds delicious! xxx
 
Yes that does sound delish as you'd get the flavour but as you say it will go a long way! I'm going to do the Quark thing for Ryvitas!X
 
I love red pesto, and as others have said it does go a long way. I use1 tablespoon on my pasta for 2.5 syns, and then top with a HEa portion of parmesan. I also throw in some cherry tomatoes etc. Is yummy.
 
Thanks for the salmon tip BMIC! Inspiring as usual!! I'm into salmon in a very big way at the moment- did your roasted tomato thing with the worcestershire sauce, mustard and e.l.mayo and it's now a firm fave in our house!!XXX
