This Syn Free Quick Creamy Pasta is perfect for an easy lunch or dinner and combines just a few ingredients for a tasty flavoursome dish.

Occasionally I just want a quick simple meal that I can put together in minutes for days like to today when I’m super busy and rushing around.

There is nothing worse than being super hungry and having nothing prepared and the last thing you want is to be standing in the kitchen chopping up loads of ingredients for a meal, as chances are you will just grab something unhealthy a convenient instead.

This Quick Creamy Pasta is one of my go-to lunchtime meals when I’m having one of those days. I can quickly combine the ingredients for the sauce while the pasta cooks and so it really only takes the time for the pasta to cook. Can’t complain there can you?

Making a syn free creamy sauce like in this Quick Creamy Pasta means using some quark, which is not to everyone’s taste, but I find combining it with the few other ingredients as in this recipe, takes away some of that sour taste and adds lots of yummy flavour, while saving all my syns and healthy extra’s to be used elsewhere in the day.

As much as I love proper cheese, sometimes I want to use my healthy extra A choice on something else, so when I fancy creamy without the syns this is perfect.
