This evening’s meal was a pasta salad. I love pasta so since I was missing a couple of the ingredients I made a few tweaks to the recipe and the result was excellent (if I do say so myself!)

      With this version the Philadelphia (or similar creamy cheese) gives the pasta the creamy texture. Isn’t it a bit dry with Mozzarella on its own, or do you add some kind of salad dressing?

    Ah sorry would have thrown in a nice bit of olive oil … not overly ridiculous amount but probably more than you’re allowed. It’s still got to be healthier than a jar of god knows what sauce 🙂

      I’d be allowed a “light” dressing, but all oils are limited
