Product Information

When you want pasta without the wait, this Spaghetti Carbonara will save the day. It’s on the table in just 20 minutes, piping hot, creamy and oh-so-cheesy. Yes! There are 44 vegetarian recipes and 47 that are gluten free. Both are easy to convert too. Are any of the recipes from the first three books in this new book? Preheat the oven to 180C (fan 160C/gas mark 4). Spray a casserole dish with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the beef and cook for a further 5 minutes until browned all over. When the salmon is cooked, gently stir in the cream cheese until completely blended in. Again, take care not to break up the salmon too much. This recipe takes just over half an hour to make and it turns out so luxurious, creamy and just 210 calories per serving! We love ours simply served with some fluffy boiled rice.

Place the pork, cornflour, Chinese 5 spice and sesame oil in a sandwich bag and shake until the pork is completely coated in the cornflour mix. Cut the potatoes into chips about 1cm (1⁄2in) wide and place in a bowl of cold water to rinse off the starch. Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the chips once. The chips will be slightly tender at this point but not completely cooked. Remove from the oven and set aside.
