450g minced meat of your choice
1 level tbsp chopped parsley
Seasoning
1 crushed clove of garlic
1/2 level tsp cumin
1 egg

Sauce:
2 onions finely chopped
1 level tbsp tomato puree (1/2 syn)
Pinch grated nutmeg
400g tin tomatoes
1/2 level tsp sweetener

Place all the sauce ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil.

Reduce heat and simmer gently for ten minutes while making the meatballs.

Place meat, garlic, herbs and seasoning into a bowl and mix until well combined.

Add the egg and mix well again.

Divide into small balls and carefully add to the sauce - cover pan and simmer for 20 minutes to cook the meat.

Serve with vegetables. I made mine with SW wedges/chips - YUMMY

SPAGETTI CARBONARA

Adapted from Philadelphia website, lots of yum recipes on there that can be slightly adapted if needed!

I use this as my main meal on a green day, as it uses 1 HEA & 1 HEB, so I can still use another one of each throughout the day if I need to!

Serves 2
Ingredients
• 200-400g spaghetti (depending on how much you like, I like loads so that’s 200g each)
• 170g lean bacon cut into strips (HEB for 2 people)
• 142g Philadelphia Light (HEA for 2 people)
• 2 egg yolks
• 3 stalks flat parsley leaves picked and chopped
• 300 ml vegetable stock
• Shavings of parmesan to garnish (I don’t bother with this but if you want to use another HEA then use 28g per person)

Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. While it’s cooking fry the bacon pieces in a large pan in fry light, add the veg stock and simmer for a few minutes till the liquid is reduced by half.

Beat together the Philly and the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the hot pan, add the bacon and stir through, add the philly and egg mixture and stir through well to combine everything.

Divide between 2 bowls scatter with the parsley and a few shavings of parmesan.

This isn't a Slimming World recipe, it's a Weight Watchers one that another lovely Wolly send me but it's completely free on Extra Easy. I changed it a bit to suit the veg I like, but you put in whatever veg you like.

I don't have quantities, you just work it out depending on how many people you're feeding, if you get me!

Chicken wrapped in bacon with roasted vegetables and sweet potato wedges.

Chicken breast fillets, boneless, skinless
Lean back rashers, all rind/fat cut away
Onions, cut into large chunks
Carrots cut into medium chunks
Butternut squash (actually couldn't find this but I'm sure it's yummy)
Sweet potatoes
Basil or sage leaves (I prefer basil)
Paprika
Soy sauce
Lemons
Salt and Peppter
Fry Light spray

Put the onions, carrots, butternut squash and any other veg you like to roast, in a roasting tin. Spray with Fry Light and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 200 for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile season the chicken fillets with soy sauce and paprika and pepper and place a basil/sage leaf on each one. Then wrap a rasher around each chicken breast, securing with a toothpick. Slice up the lemon and put a slice on top of each chicken breast. (I find lemon really helps to keep chicken moist without using oil)

After the 15 minutes is up, take the roasted veg out of the oven and lie the chicken breasts on top of the veg. Put the tin back into the oven for 25-30 mins or until the chicken is done. Check the chicken by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If the juice is clear it's done, if there's any sign of pink at all, put it back in for another few minutes. Don't poison yourself, better safe than sorry! Check also that the veg is tender. If it's a bit hard, give it another few mins.

For the Sweet Potato wedges - put them in at the start of cooking, with the roasted veg, they'll take about 45 mins in total. Basically peel sweet potatoes, chop into chunks/wedges/slices/whatever you want yourself. Lay on a baking tray, spray with Fry Light, season with salt and pepper and even a bit of chilli or paprika and into a 200 degree oven for 45 mins, maybe 50 mins. They're done when a knife slips in easily and they're a little blackened around the edges. If you put them in right at the start of cooking, they'll be done at the same time as the roasted veg and chicken.

Serve with extra veggies or a big salad.

This is a HUGE dinner, honestly. We had two chicken fillets each as they were small and loads of the roasted veg, piles of it, it was so scrummy. Then the sweet potato and extra steamed veg on the side. I couldn't move afterwards. And every bit of it FREE!
