Syn Free Creamy Cheese and Bacon Pasta

Sometimes you just need a cheesy carb fix, right?!? I know I do anyway…particularly since I started growing a little human inside me. Sometimes only carbs will do, and whilst 90% of the time I spend my time focusing on healthy carbs, a cheesy bowl of pasta really can’t be beaten when it’s cold outside. However, as much as I might want to indulge my cravings, I also want to stick to a meal that fits within my daily Slimming World plan. That’s where food like this Syn Free Creamy Cheese and Bacon Pasta comes in!

Ingredients

  • 250g Uncooked Spaghetti
  • 90g Mature Cheddar Cheese
  • 250mls Semi-Skimmed Organic Milk
  • 2 Cups Boiling Water
  • 1x Egg (whisked)
  • 1tsp Salt
  • 1/2tsp Pepper
  • 1/2tsp Mustard Powder
  • 6x Rashers Smoked Bacon (fat removed - sliced small)

Instructions

  1. Add the milk to a medium sized saucepan and heat until it is almost boiling.
  2. Add the pasta and boiling water and heat until the spaghetti is underneath the liquid.
  3. Add the salt, pepper and mustard powder and stir to combine.
  4. Bring to the boil over a high heat and then reduce to a medium heat to simmer with the lid off until the pasta is cooked and the liquid has reduced.
  5. Meanwhile, fry your bacon until it is crispy. Set aside.
  6. Remove pasta from the heat and add the cheddar cheese. Stir until melted.
  7. Add the whisked raw egg and stir quickly through the pasta. The egg will cook as it is stirred through, but will remain in liquid form providing a creamy texture.
  8. Stir through two thirds of the bacon, retaining the rest for garmish.
  9. Serve between four people, with the rest of the bacon as garnish, and enjoy straight away.
