Not only is this pasta easy to make, totally syn free and seriously delicious, it’s also full of protein! With the mince and the black beans, it really packs a protein punch and will fill you up for ages! Perfect served alongside a simple salad or a mound of homemade salsa (for added speed) this one dish serves SIX, which means your Syn Free Taco Pasta is not only a yummy dinner. it’s also a cheap one that will feed the whole family, or give you leftovers for days to come! 

Dishes like this Syn Free Taco Pasta are one of the reasons I love Slimming World so much! You can tuck into a dish like this, covered in melted cheese, without feeling guilty at all! Not only does it have plenty of speed food cooked into it, with peppers and tomatoes, by simply enjoying it with a salad or alternative speedy accompaniment (on the plate to ensure a third of your meal!) you’re sticking to plan 100%! 

If you haven’t eaten tacos before then the best thing to equate this to would be chilli, as it has similar flavours. The spices in this are cumin, paprika and chilli powder, which give you a deep flavour that doesn’t need any hard to find ingredients…you’ve probably got them in the cupboard already! 

Black beans were something I haven’t used much in cooking before, as I’ve always been worried they’d be hard even once cooked. It turns out that if you buy the black beans that are soaked in water, then you only need to cook them for about three minutes for them to be soft…who knew! Now that I know this, I’ll be using them a lot more in my cooking, as they’re full of flavour and so good for you!
