Tonight I whipped up a cheese sauce using extra light philly (heb), 42g low fat cheddar (hea) and water to make it a bit runny. Coooked off some mushrooms, red onion, green pepper and some sweetcorn and threw it altogether with some pasta.
The cheese sauce is the best I've come up with so far but if you guys know a better way to make it please let me know cos I love cheese sauce!
I did smash pizza last night which was amazing! I was so sceptical but it was awesome!

Cheese sauce is pretty easy to make. I think you've got the right idea. My suggestion is to use chicken broth instead of water. Simple enough change - but gives it some flavor. Also, if you have a some HEXA left, thin it with milk.
I've also made cheese sauce by mixing up a packet of gravy and added cheese to it. Not sure how the gravy is in the UK, but in the US it comes in dried form. It's about 4 or 5 syns for the whole lot. But I just add cheese and a bit of milk and it tastes really good. Sounds strange, but it's good. But there may be a difference in gravy - I believe yours comes in granule form? Ours is more of a powder.
But I think you've got the right thing going. Adding a touch of herbs and garlic also makes it good.
