Dead easy recipe:

300g smoked haddock or cod - cut into cubes
1 tsp olive oil
1 red pepper - diced
1 green pepper - diced
100g mushrooms - sliced
1 large or 2 small courgettes, finely sliced
225g dry pasta - shells are best but any will do
tub low fat creme freche
tin chopped tomatoes
25g low fat mature cheddar, grated

Heat oven 190 degrees

Cook pasta and drain well

Heat oil in a pan and stir fry peppers, courgettes and mushrooms, for about 5 mins

Add drained pasta, fish, creme freche, tomatoes, and season

Put in a big casserole dish, sprinkle grated cheese on the top, and cook in the oven for about 25 mins.

Serves 4, freezes well. 5 points per portion.

I used to cook this if we had friends over for dinner - the portions are huge and served with a crusty fresh baked roll, no one realises they are eating diet food

ooo that could be made veggie very easily cheers

Thank you Hypno that sounds lush and you learn something everyday (especially on MSE!) as I didn't know you could freeze pasta!

It freezes really well in a dish like this, and yes El, you could easily make it veggie.

I've done the same dish with diced chicken too, and also a cheap version involves replacing the smoked haddock with a couple of tins of value tuna

Thanks for posting the recipe, it sounds yummy. Fish pie is a favourite of mine too but with butter, cheese and flour - diet food it is not

That recipe is out of the WW "Pure Points" book - I've never found any of the more recent books they have done, anywhere near as good. I go back to it time and time again, even if I am not following WW!

Ohhhhh can I come too? (... to the meet rather than run the marathon - I can barely run for the bus ) I'm in Edinburgh!

Of course you are welcome! It is 23rd May I think, so I will be heading up there a couple of days before I reckon to make a weekend of it
