Pasta Quiche

Recommended Posts

This is a SW recipe given to me by a friend (green day I think) for a quiche with no pastry case.

It worked out at 25 WW pro points for the whole recipe.

 

 

vegetables of your choice - enough to cover the base of a quiche dish. I used broccoli which I broke into small pieces and steamed, and onions which I fried in a non stick pan with a spray of oil. The suggested veg was peppers, parsley, mushrooms and sweetcorn.

150g very low fat cottage cheese. I just used low fat cottage cheese with chives

1 packet of Batchelors "tomato and herb pasta and sauce" made up as packet instructions and allowed to cool. I used Asda's own brand.

3 eggs.

Salt and pepper

 

I didn't put the veg in the dish first I just mixed it all up and poured it in. Baked at 180 degrees (gas mark 5) for 30 minutes (or until set and brown). This made 4 portions. I took it to work for my lunch 3 days on the run with some chopped salad. (I had the other portion for supper). It's one of those dishes that tastes even better the day after you make it.

 

It reminds me of a Trinidad style macaroni pie. Yum.

At my slimming world group its a slightly different recipe and very yummy.

 

Mix up the pasta and sauce as per packet (I use the cheese and brocolli one and its a couple of syns for the whole packet if made with all water not milk) then mix in whatever veg you like, a whole tub of quark and 3 whisked eggs. Bake as you said.

 

I did mine with a tin of tuna and lots of sweetcorn.... very very nice so much so that DH loved it and he doesn't like pasta! I'm told by our group leader that it makes it firmer as its quark instead of cottage cheese

Hi Catie, I made this today, I used a twice as much cottage cheese as last time. It tastes nice but it's not holding together as well.

I'm sure there are lots of variations that are possible. Quark is a good idea. I thought that tinned salmon would go very well with the broccoli that I used.

I was thinking that cooked fusilli or macaroni pasta could be used instead of a packet of "pasta n' sauce", but that you would need to add extra seasoning, garlic etc to get a similar tasty result.

I find it good for my lunchbox on work days.
