Recipe: Tomato & Pork Pasta (with cheese)



My Hubby loves this! He misses cheese while we're trying to lose weight (cheese to my Hubby is like chocolate to me!) so having a sprinkling of cheese on this before it goes in the oven feels like a real treat!

This serves 4 at 11 pro points each, you could make it go further with salad and garlic bread.

What's in it:

10 x Sprays low cal cooking spray
250g Fresh Pasta
225g Lean Pork Mince
150g Back Bacon (fat trimmed off)
1 440g Tinned Tomatoes
2 Onions (diced)
2 Red Peppers (diced)
2 Courgettes (diced)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Basil
1 Vegetable Stock Cube, made up to 1 pint
2 tbs ketchup
80g Cheddar Cheese (grated)

How to put it together:

  • Fry the bacon and the diced veg in the cooking spray, then add the mince and continue to fry.
  • Add the tomatoes, garlic & herbs, and stock. Stir through, and simmer until thick. Stir in the ketchup.
  • Cook the pasta according to the packet, drain and add to the sauce. Stir through and transfer to an oven proof dish. Top with cheese and bake on a medium heat until the cheese is melted and golden.
  • Serve with a green salad, or garlic bread (don't forget to add the points!)

Very simple, very tasty, the kids love it too. Ideal for making early and heating up when you're ready for it!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
