Courgetti spaghetti and almond milk (not together)

It should work with skimmed milk in the sauce as it's used just to slacken off the thickness of the cream cheese so you don't need much to get the consistency you want.
I usually do this in small bowl in the microwave rather than in a saucepan so you can make the minimum quantity you need.
You can also add grated cheddar or fresh not dried parmisan and a little mustard to up the flavour a bit if you like a little more bite.
 
It’s interesting how your tastebuds change.
I was surprised how quickly things changed for me, here's a poem I wrote a year after my diagnosis 🙂


Old dog, new trick!



Jaffa cakes, bourbons, custard creams,
Digestives both chocolate and plain,
These I would graze on from morning till night,
And nothing but crumbs would remain…

But since diagnosis it’s becoming quite clear
That these once longed-for snacks don’t appeal,
An adaption of sorts to my once-hungry thoughts –
I’ll occasionally eat one with a meal.

So, a packet that once maybe lasted a day
Will now maybe last me a week,
And if there’s none left, then I won’t feel bereft,
For it’s healthier snacks that I seek!

So it shows, given time, that your habits can change,
And an old dog can learn a new trick,
It’s probably for the best I give biscuits a rest,
And not eat them till I feel sick! 😱 🙂

It worked fine, had it on my vegetables last night - thank you 🙂
