For those of you with children who aren’t immediately put off by anything green, this dinner recipe is a winner. Though there are insturctions on how to make your own pea pesto for the dish, substituting it with store bought pesto for (those who don’t want too much hassle) still works perfectly! It’s another vegan dish, however those who eat parmesan can swap that for the nutritional yeast if they prefer (though it’s incredible how little a difference there is taste wise).
Similar to a classic fish pie, this dinner recipe is a heartwarming, creamy and easy make. Luckily, it makes enough for a large dish, so you shouldn’t need to worry about making it back in time for seconds!
I couldn’t not have included a classic pasta dish in here! This is, in my opinion, one of the best dinner recipes to make for the whole family. Jamie Oliver’s recipe is one of my favourite’s to follow, however, if you’re wanting to get a little creative – adding a quarter teaspoon of cocoa powder and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon to your bolognese sauce gives it that little extra ‘Mmm’ factor.
