A luscious and healthy unofficial Slimming World chicken and bacon pasta recipe, perfect for a family meal!
If I'm stuck for time, then Italian food is always invited to my house. It's quick, simple, and easily jazzed up with some store cupboard essentials without cutting back on flavour.
I'd hate for someone to be skeptical about any meal with Slimming World in the title, but when I've often sinned, it hasn't tasted like fats and sugars have been worth it.
Personally, I'd much prefer to eat a meal like this, knowing I can have the extra treats later on.
So I'm sharing with you a typical dish that I cook with spaghetti and it's never the same; I change it constantly using whatever I have in at the time or my mood and it's guilt free!
