Pasta is one of the best comfort foods for me, and thankfully on Slimming
World you can eat an unlimited amount of it
(Within reason, of course!) I have lot's of pasta
recipes on my website, and one of the most popular recipes is for Mac & Cheese.
The classic Mac & Cheese is made using a flour based cheese sauce, with
lashings of cheese in it and melted on top! This recipe is my lower fat
version, with a lot less cheese and calories.
BBQ sauce is another of my favourite things, so I decided one evening to
combine it with this Mac & Cheese, as there is nothing better than a
cheese and BBQ sauce combination!
It really easy super simple to make, and tastes so delicious! The pictures may
not be perfect, but I am sure you can appreciate how good it truly is!
This Mac & Cheese is actually made using Butternut Squash to get the creaminess!
