Many thanks to Amanda Charlesworth for this recipe at just 1 point per serving on No Count. (If you only use 7g of reduced fat pesto, this recipe will be free on No Count.) If tracking, it’s 6sp.
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 45g dried wholemeal pasta
- 65g cooked chicken breast, chopped into pieces
- 10g green pesto (1 point)
- a tbsp quark
- fresh basil
- Italian salad leaves
If you use just 7g of Tesco reduced fat red or green pesto, this meal would be free on No Count.
Method:
- Cook and drain the pasta.
- Mix the quark, pesto and chicken and mix with the warm pasta.
- Use the salad leaves as a base, add the pasta and garnish with basil.
As the pasta and chicken are free on No Count, you could use up to 70g pasta and a whole chicken breast.

You’re welcome Angie. I track points but am starting to recognise no count foods more
Just had the Chicken Pesto Pasta Sakad for lunch, a really nice dish very tasty. I’ve also made the raspberry muffins for a nice sweet treat this afternoon. I think I’m going to enjoy no count.
Hi! That’s great, glad you enjoyed the chicken pesto pasta salad, and hope you enjoy the raspberry muffins too. Here’s to a fab No Count week, Helen xxx
