Slimming World fans obsessed with mum's 'speedy' and healthy pasta bake

Slimming World fans say they are "obsessed" with a mum's "speedy" pasta bake recipe. The meal takes less than an hour to prepare and is low in syns - which are what Slimming World calls higher calorie and less nutrient-dense foods.

Despite being healthier than others choices, the meal which contains a mix of 5 per cent fat minced beef, onion, peppers, mushrooms, garlic and seasonings still feels indulgent, according to Edinburgh Live. Sharing the recipe on Facebook and Instagram, the mum said: "Although I'm getting there my appetite is still a bit bleh... And all I fancied was cheese and beans on toast tonight not really exciting I know but this little beauty is exciting.

"It's syn free, packed full of speed, topped with cheese, involves pasta, I mean it's just everything you want and need. Hence why I'm re sharing it."

You can see the full recipe here, but the main steps are detailed below.

  • Fry off 500g 5 per cent minced beef
  • 1 onion
  • Mixed peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Garlic
  • Fry in Fry Light until the mince is browned
  • Add in JD Seasonings Bolognese, passata, tomato puree and Worcester sauce and simmer for 40 minutes
  • I then cooked off some pasta and mixed with the mince and poured into a dish, topped with chopped peppers and red onion and 40g reduced fat cheese
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese has gone all gooey and yummy
  • Serve with salad and garlic bread using Schar Gluten Free ciabatta, which I rubbed garlic over, added some mixed herbs and griddled.

Fans of the account, who refer to the poster as 'Slimming World Mum' were quick to comment on the post. Amy Wright said: "I love all your posts. Thank you very much for sharing." Karen Headley added: "This looks and sounds amazing!!"

'Slimming World Mum's' real name is Jessica Cadman - she's a mum to three boys and has gained a following on Instagram and Facebook for sharing her five stone weight loss journey with Slimming World.
