Ingredients

  • 200 g pack of light soft cheese with garlic and herbs e.g., Philadelphia
  • 200 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 1-2 tbsp skimmed milk
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh chives snipped
  • one-calorie oil spray e.g., FryLight

To serve

  • 80 g dry weight spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Heat up a frying pan and then squirt with a couple of sprays of one-calorie oil spray. Add the onions, peppers and the garlic and gently fry until soft.
  • Add a few more sprays of the oil spray and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have softened and started to brown off.
  • Meanwhile, cook your spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
  • When the mushrooms are cooked through, add the soft cheese. Stir everything together, adding milk to loosen the sauce a little. Add 1 tbsp of parmesan and stir in. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Drain the spaghetti - reserving a little of the cooking liquid, which can be used to loosen up the sauce some more if you wish.
  • Divide the spaghetti and sauce between two serving plates. Sprinkle with chives, more black pepper and ½ tbsp of parmesan.
