Is there a better comfort meal than mac & cheese? (The answer is no haha)
Swap different cheeses or the bacon to chorizo!
If your in a rush and don't have time to make the sauce, grab a white lasange sauce (try and get the lower cal version) and it works just as well! I will add a quicker version of this using it!

Ingredients- this is for my portion
75g raw GF Fusilli pasta which makes 170g cooked - 279 kcal
100g Already cooked chicken breast shredded -165 kcal
For the sauce (this makes FOUR portions - which makes it 249 per portion when divided into 4)
4 rashers of bacon with fat trimmed
500ml of unsweetened soya milk
40g cornflour
30g of flora lightest butter
50g of mild cheese
70g of Red Leicester cheese
Boil the pasta - as I’m GF I cook mine separately to my family who have wheat pasta.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry off
Heat the butter in a pan, add half the soya milk to the butter once it’s melted whilst whisking the other half of the soya milk with the cornflour until smooth. Then add the smooth soya/cornflour combo to the pan and stir continuously whilst adding the cheese gradually.
Keep stirring until you reach the consistency you want. (Beware! It will thicken as it cools!)
Add the already cooked chicken into the pan with the bacon and ensure it’s completely heated through
Drain the pasta and stir in 1/4 of the sauce, bacon & chicken
Super quick and easy mid-week GF Mac & cheese!
