    20g soft cheese, chopped spring onions, teaspoon chilli, garlic clove crushed, spinach leaves, 10g half fat creme fraiche, ground pepper to season

    melt the low fat cheese in a frying pan, add the spring onions, chilli and Garlic, cook over a low heat.
    Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water, leave to drain.

    Mix all together then pour over pasta (or mix it all in)

    Is very nice :smile:

    This sounds so good. So good. No idea what you mean by soft cheese, though...like cream cheese?! Or...just a really mushy cheese? And by chilli, do you mean chili powder? And half-fat creme fraiche...hmmm...thinking of substitutions. I am going to stalk your profile now to see where you're from, as I'm determined to figure this recipe out and you're clearly not in the U.S. :) Thank you for sharing...at the very least, this is going to make me experiment.

    Lol... Im in England. I think it is cream cheese like Philadelphia???? and it could be chilli powder or chopped fresh chillies depending how hot you like it. fat free greek yoghurt could substitute the creme fraiche... just to make it more creamy :happy:

    I have two go-to recipes:

    For tomato sauce, I heat olive oil in a pan. I add minced garlic at the beginning so that it flavors the oil. Then I add tomato puree and basil (I use frozen chopped, but fresh should be fine). You can jazz it up with anything you like, such as onion or red pepper flakes.

    For more of an Asian thing, I wok fry my meat and vegetables in olive oil with garlic, add soy sauce or teriyaki, and then pour on top of brown rice or Asian noodles, using the liquids from cooking as my pasta sauce.

    Here is one that we like a lot. The Turkey Italian Sausage is really good. Perdue is way better than Jenny O brand if you have a choice. Not sure how low you want your fat or sodium, but these are big servings... you could easily reduce if you were so inclined.

    Spicy Turkey Pasta Sauce
    from Better Homes & Gardens New Dieters Cookbook

    9-ounce package refrigerated fettuccine or linguine
    8-ounces uncooked turkey Italian sausage (remove casings, if present)
    1 cup cut up pattypan squash or yellow summer squash
    1 small red sweet pepper, cut into thin strips
    1/4 cup chopped red onion
    14 oz jar of pasta sauce (we just used Aldi's Reggiano Pasta Sauce)
    2T shredded Parmesan Cheese (optional)

    1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain
    2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook the sausage, squash, sweet pepper and onion over medium heat until sausage is brown; drain off fat. Stir in the pasta sauce; heat through
    3. Serve sausage mixture over pasta. If desired, sprinkle with parmesan cheese

    4 servings
