My Pasta Delight

This is my regular meal deal when it comes to wanting something quick, easy, gluten free and Slimming World friendly.

I just need to take better food photos but it tastes fabulous and is so filling.

I can't actually give any amounts as I just usually throw it all together, it's usually a case of how hungry I feel as to how much I make but here goes......


It consists of:

-Gluten Free Pasta Penne (I used Tesco's)
-Tomato Passata or you can use tinned tomatoes and then add tomato puree
-Sweetcorn
-Slimming World Meatballs 
-Chilli flakes
-Garlic
-Italian Herbs
-Cheese (Healthy Extra on Slimming World)

I boil the pasta following the instructions on the packet. (cough cough). Does anyone actually do that unless your boiling pasta for the first time? I really just pour some past into boiling water and wait till it goes soft. I've probably just been boiling pasta that long I don't need the instructions anymore, crikey I'm showing my age now.
I cook the meatballs in my air fryer or the oven will do the same job. (I do follow the instructions on the packet for that).
When the pasta and meatballs are cooked I drain the pasta and then pop all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat them all up and so the pasta is nicely mixed in. Yummy yummy. 

It never fails me this dish and I'm not bored of it yet. On some days I do tend to swap the meatballs for tinned mackerel in tomato sauce or tinned tuna in spring water but you can pop anything in there really. 

The Slimming World range at Iceland is great to give you that syn free option and the sausages, meatballs, onion gravy are gluten free too, just check the ingredients though for all your free from requirements.

All this talk of food makes me hungry so have a go and if there is a great free from meal you can recommend please let me know and I will feature it on 'Free From Friday'

Catch you tomorrow.........
