Vegetarian Butternut Squash Cheese Bake Recipe – Slimming World Syn Free

If I’m ever inspired by a meal absolutely anywhere, it’s the norm for me to get my camera phone out and snap way.  I never get around to doing most of them, but some don’t slip through the net of my memory bank.  This is exactly what happened when I saw this Butternut Bake for sale in Tesco for £2.50 among all the veggies.

So I took a pic of the ingredients at the back too and I don’t feel guilty for adapting this recipe to a Slimming World one because I mostly do all my shopping in there and used mostly Tesco bought stuff anyhow.

The great news with this recipe is that you get a lot more food for your buck and if you’re on a strict diet plan, this work out as syn free to Slimming Worlders on the Extra Easy plan and can be served as a main between two or a side for four.
