Peas on Earth
I cut and pasted the ingredients from Tesco's site. I then googled TempText2 to find out what on earth it was. Turns out to be a bit of stray computer code stuff that was accidentally included in the ingredients LOL

Quorn ham/quorn bacon or HEB for real bacon or free bacon if EE(cooked already)
Sauce is ( for 2) 2 eggs and 1/2 tub Quark, salt and pepper. whisk together.
When spaghetti is cooked, return to pan and mix in sauce and bacon, keep stiring until the egg in the sauce just starts to set. dont over do it else it becomes really dry.

Okaaaay,
Make up some smash using less water to make it 'dough' like, use half of it to mould round a pyrex dish that you're going to cook the pie in, and then use a pizza dish to make the top of the pie. I cooked these in the oven for about 20 minutes to let them go crispy, whilst they were cooking I fried (in frylight) some chicken, mushrooms and onions. Once they were cooked I mixed in some vecon stock and let it simmer for a while.
Then I poured all this into the pyrex dish, put the smash top onto the pie & put it back into the oven for about 15 minutes, and taadaa. Was so nice!!

This is my kebab made with turkey mince instead of the lamb mince as I'm doing a speed food challenge. The recipe for kebab is further up in this thread.
However I did make a syn free chilli sauce and garlic yogurt which were very tasty
Chilli Sauce - Syn free all plans
1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
2 red chillies, halved, deseeded, then chopped
2 cloved garlic, chopped
...
Place all ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 10 minutes before blending and transfering to a dish to cool before serving.
Garlic Yogurt - Syn free all plans
1 tub of very low fat natural yogurt
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced.
1 tsp no added sugar mint sauce
Combine all the ingredients and refridgerate for at least 5 hours before serving.

Aw, thanks Nadiya. I would guess that not all falafel are free - some might contain oil or something, or be fried.
But yep, these ones were homemade. Pretty simple actually:
- can of chickpeas
- a small carrot, chopped
- an onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic
- cumin to taste, salt and pepper
Just whizz the above in a food processor, not too much to keep some texture, stir in some fresh chopped coriander (i also added a couple of spoons of quark, as it needed using up) then shape into balls. Cook in hot-ish oven until browned (i'm never very precise about temps / times when it comes to my cooking!!)
