  Can this really be 963 calories per serving, what is in there to make it so high?

  Thanks, Vivianne - I was wondering about exactly the same point. It must be down to the breadcrumbs/oil topping - what difference would using a sprinkle of parmesan instead make?

  This is a very tasty recipe, and while ingredient calories are different, these are the ones I have and they add up!! full fat creme fraiche: 315cal/100ml=441cal/140ml [roughly 140gr] farfalle pasta: 355cal/100 gr dry=710cal/200gr dry olive oil: 120cal/ 1 Tbs=360cal/3 Tbs white wine: 77cal/120 ml 1 slice of bread: 110cal [I would say a slice is one handful, so this may still be half of what the recipe calls for] Adding 441+710+360+77+110, my tally comes to 1698 calories. The surprise comes when you see that this is meant to be two servings, so my rough count comes to 849.0 cals per serving! Scary. However, I found this recipe can serve four adults, not just two, especially with a side salad and/or side veggies. To lower the calories, I omit the bread crumbs/oil, dry fry the veggies, and use either low-fat creme fraiche or low-fat yoghurt. This is a very tasty recipe, and since my husband likes it, I found that creating a low-fat version was worth the modification!

  I had half a savoy cabbage to use up and whilst this sounded unpromising the reviews of this recipe encouraged me to try it. It was surprisingly good. I used half fat creme fraiche which reduced the calories a little. Although I don't think it is too high for a main meal - a little under half most people's daily allowance. I don't get too hung up on calories as long as the food is nutritious.

  A tasty meal considering it was made entirely of fridge and storecupboard items requiring "used up" before the holidays! If you have all to hand give it a try although it does need a little parmesan too. Otherwise I wouldn't go out my way to make it.

  Easy to make and really tasty - my OH added bacon to his but even enjoyed the cabbage. Thought it was quite healthy but have just looked at the calorie rating and I'm feeling a bit more guilty for eating so much now!

  A lovely meal. I added cubed pancetta to my dish which added an interesting dimension. It's a quick, easy meal which proved to be a hit when I cooked it.
