This week I have been experimenting with some new recipes and inventions for the students lunches. On Thursday, we had Cheese and Spinach Scrolls which the children devoured in a taste test. Once I have worked out the logistics of such a feat we will add it to the menu. This week they will be trying my Apple Muesli Crumble.
Here’s a tip for Winter some of the best family recipes take only one pot. Don t wear yourself out, warm yourself up!
One-pot recipe Broccoli Orecchiette
Serves a family of 6
1 x 500 gr bag of Orecchiette pasta
500gr broccoli (small florets)
2 shallots (small rounds)

3 Tsp of parmesan cheese
