RECIPE TIPS
A HEALTHIER OPTION

You can swap mascarpone and crème fraîche for low-fat cream cheese and fromage frais. however, don’t overheat these substitutes as they can split and turn grainy. For extra fibre, wholewheat pasta can be used in any of the dishes, but add 3-4 mins to the cooking time.

I used some of the pasta water to loosen the sauce made with low-fat crème fraiche and used thinly sliced smoked ham and sliced spring onions in the dressing. Easy, quick and tasty, but go easy with the lemon.

Nice recipe with a subtle lemon tang. I wasn't sure about it at first as I found it quite dry and bland, but I added a few splashes of milk and some salt and pepper to the left-overs and it improved dramatically.

Thought this was awful.

I always try recipes twice, as long as they are not too expensive - however it was just as bad. Will definitely not make again, and this has put me off using lemon in cooking.
