Boursin and Bacon Pasta


I'm not having the best of weeks, it was my weigh day yesterday and I managed to stay the same this week and that is pretty amazing considering the food thoughts I have been having and the treats I've allowed myself!  Like a lot of the UK population I am really fed up with the manky weather, it seems like the cold dampness has just been going on for too long now....seriously where are you spring???!!!   The weather is bringing me down, which in turn is making me lose some motivation, I feel like this is happening to a lot of people at the moment and any advice to conquer the gloom and boost motivation would be much appreciated!

My current motivation plan is trying to think about summer clothes! There are few material possessions I love more than a summer dress, so I'll keep that in the front of my mind, stop looking at cake on Pinterest and browse clothing instead! I'll let you know how it goes and hope I don't 'accidently' make and eat some muffins later!

So today I tried to expand my love affair with Boursin, someone suggested trying it with pasta and bacon - so I did.  Something to smile about is that Boursin light is only 1.5 syns per 25g so surely its an ideal ingredient  it created a creamy filling and flavourful dinner in the time it takes for pasta to boil, what more could I ask for!  Also maybe I need to get out more, but just using a new pasta shape excited me today....you gotta take what you can!

Boursin and Bacon Pasta

Pasta (I used 250g for 2.5 people)
100g Boursin light
Bacon
Splash of milk

Put your pasta to boil in a large pan of salted water
Whilst thats cooking cut your bacon into strips (fat removed dieters) and fry with some spray oil in a large pan
Once the bacon is cooked add the Boursin and melt over a low heat
Mix in a splash of milk and stir really well
Once your pasta is cooked add to the Boursin bacon mixture toss together and eat immediately

  1. One thing I'd recommend giving a go - add some chicken to this as well as bacon.
