It tastes great - I don't even like smash so was a bit worried that I wouldn't like it but its so nice and its good to have a really cheesey dinner without using a load of syns. It would go nice with baked beans or a salad.

Thanks David I think I've got the right one and I got a 250g tub of quark so I'm going to have a go at it !! Looks v tasty!! Thanks again

I'm not a massive fan of quark normally either but cooked with the potato and the cheese it definitely adds a nice flavour :)

Forgot to mention this pie makes 4 good portions (each portion is half a syn and uses half of your healthy extra a)

I think I would have to make it with out the quark, other than that it looks yummy!!
@davidmichaeljennings 11 years ago

I do extra easy but I think it will be similar syn's on both plus on green you will have 1.5 of your 2 HEA allowance left

Hi Kamazzy - Its not a silly question I had the same doubts as you when I found the idea on minimins . The hot water used tomake the smash must be enough to cook it - it does go in the oven too but it is soft at the end I promise lol ???

Hi Dave, love your videos. You are always smiling and honest. I was just wondering what temperature you cooked this on please?
@davidmichaeljennings 11 years ago

Its really good - one of the girls at group has also made garlic bread with cheese using the cheese/onion smash from asda and combined with garlic - I will definitely do a video on it at some point :)

@katyemma4557 9 years ago

Hi David.. Where did you get the fat free cottage cheese? Did you use the whole thing? It looked like a big tub! Thanks ..PS love your recipes!!

@Sheila Ingram my slimming world consultant said it is a tweak. I hope this clarifies your question unless you have more information??
@mrsfionaellis 11 years ago

Which plan was this on?green original or ee?
@nosheenakthar950 11 years ago

I will be using my healthy a ...is it half a syn using the smash mix
@anni50ful 9 years ago

David just an update I have the new book as I re-joined last week , the instant pots with cheese is now 3 syns and the pasta n sauce it says all varieties 1 syn so I hope that means the cheese variety ? Ill have to ask my consultant when she phones me .. it pays to check your book ..all the best x

when smash is used for anything other than mashed potatoes it is not syn free. its a tweak and must be counted as Syns. Bachelors have changed the pasta and it's higher in Syns now. Its certainly more than 2syns for whole dish
