This Syn Free delicious mid week creamy cheese carbonara is enough to impress all of the family. This Slimming World favourite is one of the easiest pasta recipes you will ever create and it is ready in just 30 minutes.

I am obsessed with pasta and I am the first to admit it.. it’s filling, it’s cheap and it’s quick to cook. The whole family love this recipe and when it only takes 30 minutes to create why wouldn’t I add this to my weekly menu?

Who doesn’t love a good spaghetti Carbonara, I know I do! I have always had a keen interest in Italian cuisine. The sad thing is that carbonara is usually made with full fat cream…. but as always I have created a wonderful healthy Slimming World alternative for you all to try.
