Yum! Ditto on the recipe request!
 
We've just had the burgers from the new magazine. Yummy. Had them with sw chips, home made BBQ sauce and fried mushrooms, onions and tomatoes
 
I made a quorn and asparagus stew with a baked potato and I am now using an entire days syn allowance (15) on a tiny tub of ice cream. This is the first time I've had ice cream this year!

Half a fresh rotisserie chicken from Waitrose and a big pile of salad with balsamic dressing - easy peasy red day tea :)
 
I'm going to have a nice big bowl of pasta with mushrooms, onion, peas and low low spread stirred through. Yum! :drool:
 
Going to have chicken kebab and chips (SW style)
 
Green day today so I'm undecided- thinking Quorn sweet chilli and lime burgers with SW chips? Quick Q- how many Syns are the burgers?

Ok so I took the recipe from a fantastic blog here : Zucchini and Lemon Spaghetti Recipe and tweaked the oil and cheese measurements to suit SW.

Ingredients
7 oz. dried spaghetti
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil (2 x HexB = 1 per portion)
2 medium courgette, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese 1.5 syns per portion
90g feta cheese, crumbled (2 x HexA = 1 per portion)
zest of 1/2 lemon
sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1.First cook the spaghetti (check the package for specific instructions) by bringing a large saucepan of water to a boil, adding a couple of large pinches of sea salt and then the spaghetti; it should take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Stir every so often so the strands of pasta don't stick together. When the pasta is just cooked (al dente), drain it in a colander, drizzle with a little olive oil and then mix to lightly coat the pasta and prevent the strands from sticking together. Set it aside.
2.You can use the same saucepan to make the sauce. Pour in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat, then add the zucchini and sauté for 4-5 minutes, before adding the garlic and herbs and mixing well. Sauté for a couple more minutes, to allow all the flavors to come together and the zucchini to cook through.
3.Return the cooked spaghetti to the pan and heat through, then mix in the cheese and lemon zest, and season with a little sea salt (you may not need much since the feta cheese is salty) and a good grind of black pepper. Serve, with a little more grated cheese sprinkled over, if you wish.
