Just a quick tip - you don't have to add marg/butter in white/cheese sauce. Just slowly stir the milk into the flour. Much lower fat and no one has ever noticed the difference when I've made it.

We had a delicious meal tonight so I thought I'd post it up. Completely forgot to do the bloody pasta though. I just didn't see it on the recipe. I thought "this looks a bit light" and did some more veg to go with it. Still extremely yummy though and reet easy to make.

Chicken spinach parcels

Serve with
30g of pasta (uncooked weight)1 tsp Pesto
1 vegetable of choice

Ingredients
2 tsp of olive oil
1 clove of garlic
30 g. of onion, chopped
1 ball of frozen spinach
1 tsp of pine nuts
1 pinch of oregano
1 medium chicken fillet (around 130g or 5oz)
2 slices of ham (25g or 1oz each)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (gas mark 4).
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the crushed garlic, finely chopped onion and the spinach. Cook over a medium heat until the spinach is soft. Stir in the pine nuts and herbs and remove from the heat.
Place the chicken fillet between two pieces of cling film and pound to flatten. Use a rolling pin or empty bottle to do this. Line the chicken fillet with the ham and then fill with the spinach stuffing. Roll up the chicken and secure with a cocktail stick. Place on a baking tray, cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes, checking the chicken is cooked through before serving.

Fig Loaf

Makes 1lb Loaf (12 slices - 110 kcal 0.7g fat per slice)

4oz Bran Flakes
4oz dark soft brown sugar
4oz chopped dried figs
2 tsp treacle
1/2 pint skimmed milk
4oz self raising flour

Put bran flakes, sugar, figs, treacle and milk into a bowl. Mix well and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Add the flour and stir well. Spray a 1lb loaf tin with oil to very lightly grease the tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 for 45-60 minutes. Turn out of the tin and allow to cool.

You can eat this right away but I find it gets even better if you wrap it in greaseproof paper and leave it for a few days.
