Garlic Mushroom Pasta | Slimming World Friendly Recipe

A classic creamy garlic mushroom sauce tossed with pasta to make a quick, simple and satisfying meal.This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.

Mushrooms are just one of those foods, either you love them or you hate them!  I happen to love them!  They are full of flavour and low in fat. They help to make the perfect pasta dish without too many calories. Sadly I am the only one in the house that enjoys mushrooms, but the best thing about this dish is its perfect for batch cooking. So I have plenty of portions in the freezer for another time.
