The slimming student

My name is Alice, and I'm a student at Aberystwyth University. I've recently joined slimming world in order to lose the weight I have gained since attending, and to offer my own experience and recipes to others like me. I'm also looking for any way of saving money on the things I love, and these will also be shared on this blog.

My super synfree pasta bake!

This is my recipe for pasta bake, it's completely free on the slimming world plan, and you can even pop a bit of healthy extra/synned cheese on top. I love this, its delicious and I make it at least once a week (I've just swapped out the ketchup for passata and removed the chocolate in my original recipe!)
If anyone tries this, please let me know what you think! It's in simple form so even my boyfriend can cook it too.
