Healthy Leek Mac n Cheese

So my mum is on Slimming World, and I now need to cook slimming world friendly meals, but tasty. I have been very particular on what I cook as I want to feel like I am eating a good tasty meal. This is 2 syns and makes 4 portions.

Ingredients

500g dried macaroni

2 trimmed leeks, thinly sliced

200g quark

200ml boiling vegetable stock

1 tbsp onion granules 2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp mustard powder

Small handful of chopped fresh chives

50g reduced fat Cheddar cheese, grated

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

• Cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions, adding the leeks for the last 3 minutes of the cooking time. Drain and return to the pan.

• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high.

• Put the quark, stock, onion granules, garlic, mustard powder, chives and three-quarters of the cheese in a small pan and whisk to mix together. Heat gently until the mixture is fairly smooth and season well. Stir the sauce into the drained macaroni and leek and toss to mix well.

• Spoon the macaroni mixture into four individual heatproof dishes arranged on a baking tray (or use a shallow casserole dish). Sprinkle over the remaining cheese, season and grill for 4 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve hot with salad or vegetables of your choice.
